I think this look is smashing. Very nice flecked tweed jacket too.
Bit of an odd jacket for the fifties, but I don't think it could be from any later or earlier.
Casual open-collar look for the older gent.
Absolutely smashing trousers. I think the whole look is very nice...
Hello all,
Came across this collection of photo's the other week, and they're really quite interesting. I really like to see photo's of real people wearing clothes, rather than movie stars or catalogue illustrations. Apologies if they're a bit fuzzy, they are just amateur snaps after all. I...
Bob Hufford - that's a fun tie! You'll always have the smell of bacon under your nose!
Bamaboots - nice haul. And I'll echo dh66's sentiments that it's always nice to have a bit of local history attached to your tie.
Here's one to interest you Americans - an Arrow tie. I don't really know the...
Latest haul:
My first ever 'Grey Quality' ties. The red one has been knocking about on Ebay for a while and TT showed it to me. I messaged the buyer and managed to get the price down from the listing. Then about two days later the silver one came up at a drastically cheaper price, so I snapped...
I've had a beard before, and a brief moustache for a day or so when the beard came off. I just want to try it out really. I'll give it a go when Movember comes around again. At least then if it looks foolish it's for charity.
BobHufford - sorry I missed your post. Thanks for showing me. I've got this horrible springy Nylon one you see. My other knits are lovely, but I never seem to wear them for some reason.
The Good - I get your points, but I'm not so optimistic on the fate of the tie. I think it will be all but...
I think that's the 1970s/1980s label in there. Perfectly nice styling though. And the colours are fantastic. Nice find!

Very true. It's usually a mixture of factors. Eventually spotting them becomes so second nature that you can see them a mile off, without having to double check. Things can always surprise you though.

Cool thanks for the details. Tebilized is a process for non-creasing. Found on the British brand Tootal - but those aren't Tootal . If you ever get tired of them I'd be happy to buy them off you, or do a swap ;)
You're getting good at spotting the vintage ones now RetroS! :)

Retro S - brilliant finds. Those Tebilized ones are really great. I have one the same label different pattern. Do yours have a course texture to them?
BobH - nice! Is that knit in nylon?

Very cool Dale. And sounds as if you're studies were pretty interesting! I did a module on 20thC American history - really fascinating. That's a great piece of US history to wear around your neck - not many folks can boast that!
Gotta love those guys with the shorty ties!
