Show us your TIES

Thin ties have their place. If I have a suit jacket on that has thinner lapels, I generally won't wear a bold tie with it.

That is usually never though because it's B-O-R-I-N-G

Man, Gene, can you really tell us how you feel about think ties? :eusa_doh: I've got to post some colorful thin ties for you to take a look at...

Anyone else see an abstract palm tree in this Wembley?

^^I see it. Great tie. What's the width, and do you want to sell it?...

It's the standard (was there one?) four inches at its widest. It's a print, not hand-painted. Feels like rayon. Well, he's on my list of top 500 in my collection. I couldn't part with him...

 

[Widebrim]

^^Well, if it's in the top 500, I can understand...I would say that standard, though, is 3". Love Wembley ties...

You can book on that tie...Labels, composition?...

Silk, Signet and Early American Woodcuts series. My son wants it already.

Two I picked up recently.

The Towncraft, I don't even know why I bought it. It's ridiculously skinny. I guess I just couldn't let vintage sit on the shelf.

As for the Beau Brummel, I was thrilled about it. Not only do I really like the tie (though I'll never get to wear it) It's from a local retailer that shut down a couple years ago. Some of the stuff that sat around the back all these years comes up for sale now and then, such as this one.

A few more I got today:

Those are all so nice and bright. All silk Hollyvogues had to have been one of the top-of-the-lines.

James, those ties are fantastic, all these Bold Look ties are changing my opinion on whether or not to buy a few that are NOS from a local vintage shop (price has been stopping me, $30 per!)

You can get Bold Look ties a lot cheaper on eBay, and on the Fedora Lounge classifieds (although not necessarily NOS)...

Yes, it is a kick to get NOS anything from a store which has kept it in storage for years...

3"?!:eusa_doh:

Yeah, 3" is considered the standard, and most aesthetic (for "average" build men) width for neckties. Sorry if that affronts your Bold Look affinities...:eusa_doh:

Average must mean stick build.

Definitely. I got that whole lot for less than $30.
