Absolutely. The tie was really the only way a cat could separate himself from others and show off his personality. Remember when The Gap couldn't keep denim shirts and khakis on the shelves? They somehow made it cool to wear a uniform. Everyone looked the same. I say "screw that"! I like how I...- Swing Lover

Yup. I understand the appeal of a certain style of necktie. I'm hard to fit in a suit...my shoulders and chest are bigger in proportion to my height and waist. I've had to drastically tailor every suit I've ever aquired. One of the reasons I started collecting vintage ties was that they are "one...- Swing Lover

Ha! Yes, I do understand this anxiety. I would wince every time a service man would walk down my hall with a greasy toolbox or wet paint bucket! Believe it or not, there is a collector in NYC that has accumulated more vintage ties than me, although he buys a larger variety of styles and eras...- Swing Lover

Thanks Foxer :) When I first started collecting, I bought four curtain rods and mounted them in the very long hallway of my San Francisco flat. It was a great way to use the cramped and uninteresting hall space. As my collection grew, I purchased more and more curtain rods and mounted them...- Swing Lover
