Nice ones Michael! I particularly like he maroon / pink square-tip.

Yes, I think that one is clearly the winner of the group. Though I like finding Amana goods. The one to the left of the square tip has some very interesting texture to it. I'm fairly sure it's a polyester, but it is completely unlabeled. I got another lot a week or so ago, but forgot to take pics before I hung them up and I also got a fair big handful of bowties, including the tie em yerself sort. I think nothing vintage there.

The other day I found a late 60s-70s ascot at a flea store/thrift store.

MN -- great assortment of textures and weaves. I really like the polka-dot Grenville.

RS -- although I'm not a fan of ascots, I can appreciate them. Love the jacket!

RS: Yes, this jacket is great!

MN: Nice bunch! I love the grey-pink striped one: look very early to me, too...

I like the jacket too but I'm actually surprised to see that you ended up discovering how to get that hairstyle you wanted so bad! Congrats on that.

I picked this one up yesterday,
Wembley Necktie by Michael A2012, on Flickr
Still in need of a few wrinkles removed.

I had a fairly nice Aquascutum in my hands at a different store last night and then I set it down to look at something else and forgot it. Oh well.

I like that Wembley Michael! Outstanding.

Sorry about the other one. Drape them around your neck if you are even contemplating them ... never set them down.

 

[Michael A]

Thanks Bob. I did finally decide that I liked that one enough that I wouldn't take a chance and sprang the full $2 for it. Ha ha.

Good advice to put them around the neck, though then I might tend to try to walk out without paying for them.

[Mean Eyed Matt]

Thanks to you all!

Michael: Love the Wembley - nice colour!

 

[1mach1]

Wow, great tie finds Matt and Michael!

I picked up a couple yesterday. Not vintage really, but of interest to me.
The first is another Amana Woolen Mills product.

Pretty staid. They are not very common here even though the mill is only 15 miles away.

The second is a Frank Lloyd Wright design

Based on a 1957 carpet design as stated on the label

I think those are both pretty awesome Michael!

Thanks Bob. I don't think Amana ever had a very big clothing operation, being primarily a mill. So whenever I find something of there's I collect it. I have a certain affinity for our local communist sect and the fact that up until prohibition they had an hour long beer break for the workers in mid-afternoon doesn't hurt either. Ha ha.

I may put on the FLW before I go out today.
