Numbers 1 & 6 are in the style that I favor most, geometric with a curve or balance from one side to the other.

 

[Feraud]

Yes, it's early 1930s. That particular "Arrow Cravat" label/logo was used specifically (and uniquely) for its Canadian market ties.

Only you would know that Marc!

I believe someone mentioned your ties look 40s-50s era. That is likely accurate.

L. Strauss & Co. Indianapolis ??? Wikipedia says: It's Leopold Strauss.

Some nice ties in there! 2,3 and 4 I like best.

 

[Quigley Brown]

Well, I finally got my ties in. Just to recap, here is the whole group.

I have that exact one on the right!

I remembered something like that

50 cents each at a thrift store this weekend :

 

[Torpedo]

I like them, specially the 1st (grey plaid) and 5th (blue-red horizontal stripes)!

 

[Feraud]

I have a vintage tie and the insides seem to be twisted.
What's the best way to remedy this?

This is the lable for #5.

The lable reads "Cohama California Swagger by Carter & Holmes" which is on the narrow end which is 2 1/2" wide; the wide end is 4 1/2" wide; and is 50" long.

Cohamas are collectible, in my book, and "California Swagger" is a solid ad-line!

 

[Widebrim]

This is the label for #6.

It is on the narrow end which is 2 1/2" wide and reads "Resilient Construction Towncraft DeLuxe Cravat Fabric Loomed in the U.S.A."; the wide end is 4" wide; and is 52" long.

Towncraft DeLuxe from Penney's, along with Haband and Wembly, is among my favorite necktie lines.:eusa_clap Shame how the products of the first two have mostly descended into overthick, polyester specimens from China.

That's not easy to remedy, Feraud, but I've tried on a couple of ocassions. After washing it, you can either insert a tie rod in it while it's drying and/or insert the tie rod when you iron it. This may un-twist it.[huh]

 

[Feraud]

Thanks Widebrim. The twist is mostly on the short end but the tie is wearable. I am going to try to gently insert something in there and try and straighten it.

Great design! What does it feel like, rayon, or perhaps acetate?

 

[Widebrim]

The sheen on the red/blue one is great, and the designs on the blue/yellow are way out! I don't have any Goodcraft cravats, so I'm a bit jealous...

I believe it is Rayon.

 

[Wash In Lux]

Really like the blue one! Very nice!

Cool! Is that a Regal?
