You need the cap to really be a gas station attendant.

Agreed. I think it's a perfect warm weather shirt. The shirts are lightweight, look great, plenty of pockets.

I always think of the Arturo Fuente family with cigars in the pockets!

Thanks for the info, everybody! Now see, I learn something everyday. Now I now what a guayabera shirt is. I've always seen them but never knew what they were called.

Very sharp! I might read a little Runyon tonight. No little and even more so, in fact!

Here's a batch of ties I picked up online for about $4 per. They're all wearable, though none of like new (I'm sure the postal service did them no favors in shipping, so they'll perk up a bit, I think, with some TLC).

I have lots of flashy '40s ties, and I'm trying to add to my selection of ties with more sedate patterns, and I think some of these fit the bill.

I think these are mostly 1930s and '40s, but I'm happy to be corrected by the experts.

Hey skyvue, I love those! Similar in vintage to some I've thrifted lately:

'30s and '40s it is. Good finds!

There are some really nice ties shown in this thread.

A couple more..

 

[skyvue]

Here's a tie I got today. It's not NOS, but it's in great shape. Can't wait to wear it.

 

[Widebrim]

^^Very nice tie, Skyvue. I'm thinking '30s. Any tags?

 

[Foofoogal]

I love ties almost as much as I love cufflink sets.
Swell neckties and I am glad you all are preserving them before they are all used as crafts. lol

I got the worst news yesterday from my mom. An elderly gentlemen I met at my mom's church while I was visiting Iowa recently told me he had many old ties from his days as a business man (I can confirm they were vintage from his daughter). Well, my mom told me that his family decided to make them in to a quilt as a memory of him. Oh well, I tried.......

:eusa_doh: Hopefully, they will realize how much work a quilt is and decide otherwise.

Art Deco-influenced, with no tags; appears to be mid-50s. Was the first vintage tie I ever purchased (thrift store).

 

[skyvue]

^^Very nice tie, Skyvue. I'm thinking '30s. Any tags?

No tags (I always include the tags in my images, if the tie has them), but I'm inclined to think 1930s, too.

 

[Feraud]

I was thinking Skyvue's last tie posted might be younger.. couldn't guess w/out seeing the backside.

 

[Widebrim]

^^If Skyvue shows the fold, that might help...
