Some vintage, some not, some good condition, some not. I bought some basically because they're from now gone local retailers.

Plumage in general was popular.

Hey guys,

I'm sure you've seen them all before, just in case, plenty of 40's ties!

I confess I have more too!

I see a few knot planned ties in there. Nice selection.

Do you ever tie the most perfect knot ever so you loosen up the neck, take the tie off, and leave it tied? I have a tie or two left tied because of the pristine four in hands tied on... I was wondering if this is not a good habit to get into?

(I always untie my vintages to preserve 'em)

Probably not a good habit to get into as the knot becomes a dirty area because that is the area you are always touching. Not to mention that is the area of the tie that you are always putting the most wear on. Untie it and let in hang.
It would take far too much room for me to store my ties that way as well. Imagine 1,000 of them left tied.

I've always wanted to....just for fun...pre-tie all of mine and put as many as I could around my neck and then tie as many as I could on the rest of me...of course, get a photo...and then submit it to Guiness as the man wearing the most neckties at one time....

Nice, Dinerman. In case you don't know, "Victoria in Labore" means "Victory in Labor." Sounds like something Mussolini would have said...

Excellent, especially the black ones.

I doubt my legs could stand the weight of all my ties around my neck---not to mention my neck for that matter.
