Show us your TIES

I found three other ones too. Nothing very vintage or very special, but I guess something attracted me to them.

I like that one. You might be able to find a last possible date made by searching on Botany Mills. I believe they were in New Jersey, but I could be recalling that wrong.

I like that one too. How many are you up to now of the 500 tartans? I don't seem to find too many around here. I did find this Robert Talbot today, and it made in around my neck for the bike ride home.

Thanks for the tip on searching the Botany's date. "In late 1955, Botany left the textile business and transferred its Passaic plant to an affiliate company, Clarence Worsted." Can't find much on them.

I think I may be up to three of the tartans from that particular manufacturer. Maybe a dozen or so plaid ties overall.

I like your cashmere/wool blend tie! Dig that jacket as well...

Thanks Bob. I like that new woolie too. Today I'm trying the hand printed silk model, but I'm not sure I like the look with this outfit.

I may try switching to a Bleeding Madras skinny tie that I don't think I've worn before. And if that doesn't work, maybe something else. Ha ha. I'm just killing time here this morning.

Didn't notice the kink in it until I took the photos. Steaming ties while wearing them is inadvisable practice. Ha ha.

I don't usually post any action shots, so here's one. I wore this Wormser duck tie to a friend's art opening at a local gallery. There was a little vintage shop across the street and I found this cool glass. It was perfect for the free sangria at the art show.

Dale, I love everything about this photograph!!

If you wear it to the Casino you can get free smoke smell on it! LOL!

 

[1mach1]

Is smoking still allowed in casinos? I haven't been to one in probably twenty years, but they used to be tobacco-smoke machines with casinos inside. Has that somehow survived our no-smoking-anywhere world?

I havent been to a casino since 2003, so I'll bet smoking is banned. I'm not complaining.

Dropped off a car-load of garage sale rejects at the local thrift. While there picked up this tie...

Botany. 52" x 2-3/4".

Really dig that one Bob!

Really dig that one Bob!

Thanks Harv! Me too ... I wore it yesterday.

I passed on this one (or rather my wife vetoed it).

Well she was right. Everyone should know that just by looking at you. [emoji14]

Wore this 1940s silk brocade Arrow today.

Couple from the thrift today.

Towncraft De Luxe Cravat. Original 98-cent J C Penney price tag. 48” x 3-3/4”. Silk?

Tango by Max Raab. 55” x 3-3/4”.

 

[MondoFW]

Bob, that Towncraft looks great. The pattern, price tag, and silk all lead me to believe it could be late 20's, 30's. Someone can correct me on this. Good find!

Thanks Mondo! I was thinking a decade newer, but I’ll defer to the experts. Inflation bumped the price 2-cents higher today.

As promised, the new acquisitions from the flea market:
both not in best condition, but cheap

1. somewhat unusual/extraordinary in terms of pattern & colour:
1930s/40s, blue with woven pattern, without label but surely european/(german?)

2. unusual just for a flea market around the corner:
blue-violet with gaudy pattern - bold-look, already early/mid 50s from the USA: "COAST TO COAST - NATIONAL SHIRT SHOPS"

 

[BobHufford]

... early/mid 50s from the USA: "COAST TO COAST - NATIONAL SHIRT SHOPS"

I like them both, but prefer the gaudy one. It may have been in our local National Shirt Shop (photo from 1952 and between the coasts).

 

[Mean Eyed Matt]

Thanks Bob: That picture is great!

 

[BobHufford]

I don't usually buy ties on eBay (prefer the thrill of the hunt), but the combination of low price, hand-loomed wool and hand-painted ducks (and perhaps one too many bourbons) made me pull the trigger.

Pilgrim. Hand-loomed wool. 46" x 4".

Nice finds Matt! I'm with Bob, that second one is sweet!

I remember National Shirt Shops still being in business when I was in school back in the early 80s. I have no doubt I had some shirts from there, and probably a tie or two, although they would've been much skinnier from that time. I was too.
