Show us your TIES

^^It's most likely Bold Look period; painted ties were not really that evident in the '30s, plus that particular design/theme was big after WWII. The label is curious, though...

^^Nice!

So the "detail" meets your approval?

^^Um, let's just say I like the paint job...

I think "Regence gabardines", myself.

I'm not 100% sure on the age, but I'm guessing 1930s. The label is worn, but I can make out 'resence gabartunis' ???

Very British in style (unsurprisingly) and certainly 30s-50s.

Very interesting, thanks for your help gents! I was also under the impression the keeper loop was a more modern invention, but let me know what you think of these two:

The first is a Parisian "President" (their expensive line), it's identical to their late 40's design, but the label on this one is a keeper loop. There are instructions on the side "Put tie end in loop".

The second is also a Parisian. Very similar in size and shape to a 40s tie, but the back of the tie is sewn together slightly differently, and the label is a later version (and without instructions). This one is very odd.

Remember, these are New Zealand ties!

Thanks Baron! I've learnt something new

I'm sure I've seen vintage ads for Parisian ties, or I might even own some … Not sure.

They're one of my favourite vintage NZ tie makers, and still in business today! I've posted photo's of a deadstock Parisian tie I found (with the little cardboard sleeve advertisement), perhaps you're thinking of that? Otherwise if you do dig up some advertisements, post them up, I'd be keen to see them!

Ever come across one of these?

I'll take two of each color at that price.
I have seen them but sellers want a fortune for those ties. Then again, I would too if it were mine.

 

[Quigley Brown]

A very bold design.... No label, though.

I'm surprised you don't have one, QB...I would trade quite a few of my ties for that one (but would be sure to wear it in the daytime).

That is definitely a night time tie.

Sounds like they made a zillion of them. I'd only wear it at night!
