Show us your TIES

Just bought this for my son.

I recently found one of those at a thrift shop nearby. Very cool little gizmo! Your son should be very pleased with that -- and you. :eusa_clap

Just bought this for my son. He's a sophmore in parochial school with a nice group of mostly vintage ties. As his tie collection (and social calendar) grows I think this is a neat little item to have on the wall.

Nice! Now you need to fill it for him.
Yeah, I know he probably borrows ties from you like my son does with me. :eusa_doh: lol

Here are two you guys haven't seen from me before. The one on the right i'm wearing today, with a blue silk shirt, and is one of the Thunderw21 lot. "Wilson Brothers Duratwill Wrinkle Resistant". But the one on the right has to be one of my favourites. It's British, very lightweight wool, came from a charity shop for 25p, and features a repeated Polo player print. See there's a little ball in between the front legs of each horse that the rider is going to hit with his mallet. Wonderful.

I get the feeling there is not much love around here ( I could be wrong..) for solid colored ties but I love 'em.
The Wilson Bros. Duratwill is nice!

I quite like solids.

This one is, shall we say BOLD.

A Goodwill find today...
The front design seems very mid-50s, but the label and construction definitely say it's quite a bit older than that...

Yeah, that yellow one is nice.

I can't remember if it was wrinkled or creased (most in the group were), but it sure turned out nice.

What? I have plenty of solid color ties around here somewhere. I haven't seen them for a while but they are here.

Here is a lot of 70s ties that I unloaded on eBay for 1 whole cent:

See? I had some solid color ties.

QB, although the construction looks older than '50s, the fact that the tie is made of Dacron Polyester pegs it for that decade. Dacron was invented in 1950, and I believe that it was first used for ties in 1954.

Has anyone purchased the Fedora Lounge exclusive from Magnoli Clothiers?
I saw it and was quite taken by it. I'm talking about the striped version.

Thanks for correcting me on that. I should have stayed with my hunch with the design. :eusa_doh:

I for my part wear excusively solid colored ties. I'm not much of a pattern guy for some reason, I'm a solid guy...or so...
Problem is that those solid colored ties seem to be hard to find, especially those from the 30's/40's, and to top it off it's almost impossible to find them here in Germany. Ties just burn so well...

Anyway! I just posted a WTB in the classifieds section...
