That is a really sharp tie. Penny's, in it's day, would have been fun to shop.
Thanks Eric. Yes, it would be a blast to drop into a Penney's from the 30's or 40's or 50's. I find their current Stafford line to have made some of the better fitting sport coats and suits with nice fabrics from the 80's into the 2000's.

Wearing a vintage tie today. This vintage silk tie, Plio, is out of Denver.

Thanks Dale. I was happy to run across this tie again yesterday. It was buried on my rack. Ha ha. I love that thin and shiny fabric they used back then. And very glad to see that that suit still fits me despite the extra 10 or 15 lbs I've put on this winter.

Thanks viclip. I almost always wear my pocket watch when I wear a dress vest. Not so much with my Filson mackinaw vest.
And staying on the subject of ties, today it is a Scottish made Campbell tartan woolie

The pocket watch, my only one, was my Grandfathers. Nothing fancy and I think if I recall it was made in 1912

Missing the second hand, and I believe I have a vague memory of being involved in that issue about 60 years ago. Ha ha.

Thanks,
Michael

Hey, South Bend is in my back yard. I only did a quick search, but if it's the same company it was founded by the Studebaker brothers in 1903, so the timeline would match. Studebaker was most famous for covered wagons and then one of the early pioneers of automobiles the first half of the 20th century. South Bend (the city) pretty much owes its existence to Studebaker and Notre Dame.

that's the company. I'll trade you the watch for a Studebaker Hawk. Ha ha. Always one of my favorite car designs.

^^^^^ Love that dog/duck tie @Michael A !
They did a good job of embroidering all of those spaniels and mallards on there.

Thanks,
Michael

Hi all, finally returning after a long and unintended hiatus. I'd like to show a piece I recently acquired and one that is probably my oldest..a Rogers Peet from (I believe) the 50's. Considering its age and the fact that it came from a thrift store, it's in fantastic shape, aside from one frayed area (last picture) that can't be seen when worn. And in all honesty, it's one I'd like to let go of, so expect to see it soon, on the site's classified section.
