    Pre-1930s neckties

    Baron, every tie i have - that might be 20s - has some sort of bias seam on the rear. which puts their '20s' date in doubt.

    Pre-1930s neckties

    this is the type of U.S. tie i'm talking about: ...all bought as '20s', but are they early 20s or late 20s-30s ? one is labelled 'resilient construction'. none of them have neck bands. Baron, i'm not sure what this 'resilient construction' method is you're referring to.

    Pre-1930s neckties

    i must admit, i find ties from the teens all the way through to the early 30s very difficult to date accurately, because styles changed so little. i bought a batch of deadstock French ties last year, some of which have a selvedge lower edge, e.g: ...they could be anywhere in the teens -...

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    Nick, i'd go for cotton sateen which has a dull sheen rather than the high gloss of a typical jacket lining:

    Palm Beach Neckties

    yes, but they're 'faked' slubs rather than the ones that occur naturally in linen. it had only been listed about four hours (this afternoon) B-I-N. ;)

    Birth of the Beltback: 1910s

    the 'Clothier and Furnisher' was a trade journal, and if these were shown at style shows do you think many of these designs never made it to production and remained, what we would call today, samples ?

    Birth of the Beltback: 1910s

    so much to think about in these designs. are these all Stein-Bloch ? some of them look similar to the 'Clothier and Furnisher' illustrations you posted a while ago.

    Birth of the Beltback: 1910s

    great ! lots of high gorges there for people who think the high gorge is a modern invention. i don't think many of these styles will appeal to most on here, but they really go to show what a period of experimentation the teens were.

    Who is your style inspiration?

    Glenn Gould had the 'cool' gene; he looks stylish in practically every photo.
