Show us your TIES

Thanks, WB. The only other Hollyvogue I own is a late 50's, so I haven't anything for comparison. It sure would be nice if I could still walk into a store with "haberdashers" on the front sign and choose from their selection of 1930's and 40's neckties. what the heck, I'd take 50's too.

Get in the time machine line there bub.

All teens minues the Grayco which is actually late 20s

I'm a little bit in awe of how they are so muted, yet so loud at the same time.

That as when they knew how to make a tie that doesn't put the viewer to sleep.

Lee-- yes ghetto goodwill

and one must look at these neckties from all angles to see them glow in the light.

From two larger lots of ties (mostly narrow late-50's) I found some nice 30's - 40's ties:

Brocade - Silk or artificial silk:

Wool and Irish Wool&Silk blend:

Smooth Silk:

There are some nice ones there. The 'PERO' tie is probably pre-1945: I beleive their factory in Weissensee was destroyed in 1945, with the business relocating to Hamburg (if I remember correctly).

The burgundy tie with diagonal stripes is rather lovely. One of the nicest ties I've seen for some time.

Those are some very nice ties.

Hi Folks

What were the average neck tie lengths in each decade?

Say 1910 to 1920
1920/30 etc say until 1960?

I am trying to ascertain the progression in terms of how the average length of a tie increased in size each decade or two decades and if that progression was due in part to the average height of a gentleman increasing each decade or two..

Thank you for your comments and opinions.

Regards

CCJ: I won't give you a tutorial on tie length over the decades (many here can do that, too), but I will say that one reason ties increased in length was due to the shedding of vests after WWII, supposedly caused by an increase in central heating. When vests were used, ties did not have to be long since the vest would cover most of the chest. When vest-less suits increased in number, though, accompanied by a drop in lapels, necktie length increased in order to cover more of the chest.

Hi Widebrim
Makes a lot of sense... Something I did not consider... Thank you Sir!
Best regards.
