Thanks TT. I'm also a big fan of that Celanese tie - 20p from a local charity shop! The Macclesfield is a curious one, and I had no idea it could be so old as that! It's a nice one to have in the collection. I miiiiiiiight just wear those scarves and ties, but keep the box and packaging as...
Thanks TT. The cravats do seem a little more ambiguous certainly. In my head I had the idea from long ago that Green quality had nylon in it but I don't know why - I didn't have any with it in and I can't imagine I would have seen one and passed on it. Strange. I'll have to see if I can clean...
Any of you bold-tie enthusiasts interested in this one? 49" long, 5" wide at the blade, I think it's either Rayon or cotton or something - a substantial twill-like weave anyway, but not silk or wool. Ties very nicely. No label.
Thanks for looking!
I see. Thanks TT, makes sense with the narrower shapes coming out.
Here's a few new Tootal acquisitions:
A very nice 'Special Quality' - I want to acquire more of these bad boys
A 'Green Quality' - but perhaps a later one - a bit narrower and it is 10% Nylon. It's in pretty poor shape -...
I've got a few new Munrospuns that I shall get around to putting on, but for the meantime some nice tie and scarf sets that I acquired - still can't decide whether to wear them or keep them in their box! They've spent the last 60 years in there after all!
All Trias and Linosair ties I've...
OK, got a few that might be interesting. Some I've also posted in the 'Show us your Munrospun' etc. thread.
This is a 'Macclesfield Longscarf' - don't know an awful lot about them other than that they come from Macclesfield, England. I came across this one ages ago, and I know my friend has a...
Do we have a solid cut-off point for Rayon? Were the rayon and terylene ties produced in tandem in that later period?
I've got a few more new Tootal items I'll post in a bit.
Interesting. I've always toyed with idea of swapping good collars to good tunics from their respective poor hosts. Gone as far as separating them but not got around to it. Does it/would it work?
Regards to the main discussion - it is very rare for myself to not wear a pin or clip. I think they...
Ah very interesting. Did they prove quite popular then? And do we know very much about Japanese fashions at the time? It's not something I've ever looked into.
