What's wrong with that?
I can't remember the last time I saw anyone even wearing a tie at a funeral.

You wear a black necktie at a funeral. I must go to different funerals.

Better but it could be two inches wider.

OK, I'm going to drive you crazy with another skinny tie.
I thought this one was interesting because even though it's 60's -ish and even polyester, it's stitching and construction are similar to a much older tie.

Pretty neat. I like it.

I'm not usually too keen on regimental silk ties, but I think this one has a sufficiently distinctive pattern:

A cheap 1950s trevira tie. I know most people don't like these because man made fabrics aren't vintage enough, but I like the colours (and it was 50p):

Another 50p charity shop tie. When I first saw it I ignored it thinking that the bright shiny fabric was a cheap modern tie. Then I looked closer, saw it's construction method and short length, and realised it was an old silk tie in good condition:

Another 50p tie from the same shop. Everyone needs a few old polka-dot ties:

And finally a 1950s Tootal:

Construction and designs all point towards 30s or early 40s neckties not 50s

This is a late 50s necktie. i had one similar long ago . Dacron is one of those "new" fabrics

Some nice finds there TT,the blue silk is especially nice, I actually like the early 'Trevira'(I think I may have the same tie) et al stuff they had some nice patterns you just need care in cleaning and especially ironing....then again silk's not exactly easy care!

Maybe we need an early man made material tie thread???

What age do you suppose this one is?
It's kind of bland

 

[jamespowers]

This last one is a winner for the price!

Hoem Stead made lots of hand woven ties in the 1950s. This is one I particularly like:

How long is it?

 

[phebus]

around 50 1/2" long
3 1/2" wide

 

[jamespowers]

around 50 1/2" long
3 1/2" wide

50s for sure then. They were not around for a long time and were one of those kind of kitsch 50s things even in their own time. There were tie collectors back then too. I have some made very similarly by the Tewa Weavers in the 1950s.

Mine actually have Kachinas on them.

And the tie of the day is:

Pacman from the 1940s?

I knew this was a Wembley even if you hadn't shown the label.

Yes, it has that quality. Today's Wembley ties make you go :yawn: :eusa_doh:
