Any labels on that one? Kind of looks like a Priestley's Nor East or Palm Beach fabric. I know the Palm Beach fabric has mohair in it.

My Favourite tie at the moment, although i have not had chance to wear it, it really does need my linen suit, and cream shirt ,rather unusual tones of peach, ochre brown, and grey, I purchased it from a fellow lounger

I have just discovered that you can Scan ties soo much better

I would easily wear that with a brown shade suit. The gray might be a bit or a stretch with it but the other colors would overpower it.
That is a Superb tie.

You've got me there. I have never heard of Spur before. The new you have there isn't too bad either.
My wife tells me the 65 have arrived so I get to go home and check out how many I can actually keep and how many go for the Ugliest tie I have ever seen thread.

What do you do with the rejects?

 

[jamespowers]

What do you do with the rejects?

They make good kindling for winter.
There were a fair amount of rejects in that group but much less than I thought there would be. There were several Palm Beach ties in there along with some wembleys and a host of other old tie brands.
The palm tree tie I bought it for has several moth holes so.... [huh]
My rejects probably would work for some but I don't wear skinny, skinny ties and I don't wear boring patterns. Most importantly, I don't wear 70s ties.
I washed about five of them to see how they would come out and four out of the five came out fine. The fifth was likely silk and it was already shattering before I washed it anyway. [huh]

Geez, you can't even get rid of ugly ties for 99 cents:

Red variant coming soon. Only tie I own, or rather, that I could still find if I needed one.

 

[jamespowers]

A pair I don't remember posting so if they are repeats excuse the repeat.

 

[BegintheBeguine]

I like your vacation ties!
Here's one of my Superba Cravats, from the thrift store around the corner from my house. Did I post this already? I can't remember but seeing Binkie's cravat reminded me of it.
