All very nice TT. Especially like the one worn with your sky-blue suit! What quality is that one?

Btw I like the suit too! Those lapels have got game!

And here's a 1949 book on the Tootal manufacturing process:

Great stuff TT! I've just scored a Tootal scarf in pale grey with burgundy paisley, a bit worn but wearable...photos to follow...I like the book btw!

Popular Quality - this is one of my absolute favourite ties.

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

I can see why!

Tootal scarf I found recently, a bit worn in the odd place but still fresh print wise, I think it was worn a lot but not washed as it was pretty grubby when I got it but for a pound who cares as its very wearable!

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

That's a great pattern! Very nice indeed.

That is bloody lovely. What colours! I'm just imagining it worn with my midnight blue double breasted overcoat ... damn it's yours not mine!

Cheers TT,I've never seen a pale grey one before...its a shame it's a bit worn but in reality it's about an 8.0 out of ten, worn along the edges in places and two tiny holes near the end on one side...luckily not the label side!

TT - here's that mucky 'Black Quality' I mentioned. Let me know if you want it. Thought I'd post it here rather than 'Swap' just for its own sake.
The main mucky bits are at the tip of the blade and just about where you tie the knot - although they probably will come out with either a wash or with a Tea-Tree Wipe.




Thanks

Brilliant. Remind me, which tie did you want?

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

Well I really like that Red White and Blue Klipper - never seen that Klipper label before. What did you reckon to the length of that hand-knit?

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

A 'Black Quality' with a decent pattern but with quite a few holes in it. Again don't know what to do with this one:

Or, if you want this one you can have it instead/or another swap. Warning though, it has two holes in the front and has a bit of shine from over-pressing.

Got this little fellow in a bag of 40 vintage ties for £5, so i suppose that puts it at 12.5p! 'Popular Quality', super short with the old white label. Still has the little loop of string where the cardboard label was stitched on. Only problem is someone has pressed it into a bit of a twist, but that can soon be remedied.





Thanks for looking!

I'll stick with the grey/blue one thanks

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

Goodo. Do we have deal for the one I mentioned above? ^^^

Hello all,

Some new acquisitions. Two Tootal Rayon Cravats, the striped one has that fluted shape, and the red one is straight, but it clearly used to be pleated (still some stitches and creases). The striped one seems to be club colours to me - did Tootal do such a service?



A Tootal 'Green Quality' with 90% Rayon and 10% Nylon - great condition, hardly worn, and that fabric mix is so soft! And a really quite old 'Popular Quality', plain black, with two labels. Never seen that before.



Let me know what you think gents!

 

[esteban68]

The Tootal plaid tie and striped cravat are ace Eddie, great finds there!

 

[Two Types]

Never seen two labels before. Now you are making me jealous! The striped cravat could be club colours, I know that Tootal made school ties and also you often see more modern Tootal ties made for large companies, golf clubs etc. But i've never seen anything that is obviously made to order from the earlier period. I must check, I have a tie in very similar colours. Added to that, the 'green quality' has lovely colours.
