Show us your TIES

[thunderw21]

I rarely buy ties in stores in London - wayyyyy too expensive. But i saw this one yesterday and couldn't resist. So cute little Scotty dog print; probably 1930s.

Printed rayon twill material, no labels.

One of the best ties I've seen!

The last one on the right is a killer, and I love the Nu-Way tie!

I agree about that one on the right. It's definitely a favorite.
The Nu-Way arrived in a lot of ties and it wasn't even on my radar. My wife likes it more than I do.

The scottie dog ties are neat.

That's a nice one, QB. Is it vintage, or "modern?"

How dare you ask such a question!

Sorry, I lost my head... I hope that I'm not in the doghouse now...lol

a few stragglers.
The one below looks stained in the photo but I didn't notice it on the tie itself..[huh]

I know I've posted this one before: it's a hand-painted Britico called 'California Symphony.' But I also have it posted on my Flickr site and today I received this comment:

'Britico was my father's company. I remember as a little boy in the WWII years going with him to a little place in Laurel Canyon in Hollywood where two sisters lived and painted all the ties. Great memory seeing this photo. Sadly, I didn't keep any of the old ties.'

I will be trying to get more information from him to get a first-hand insight about the company and how they were made. Cool!

Man, that is a great story. Does he still live in L.A.? I'm sure that some of us down here would like to speak with him. Pity he doesn't have any of the company's ties.

Bring him to the QM in May. That would make a great addition to the tie seminar.

^^Believe me, that did cross my mind!

That would be quite the coup.

He commented with an online name, though. I am hoping he will respond to my comment...

Thanks. I hope he might be close and have the time to attend or send some kind of response.

Now, that's quite a design and color scheme!

And by the way, QB, that's a beaut!

Now here is one that I picked up today at a thrift store, and which is kind of a mystery to me:

Okay, it looks like an early-'50s necktie, from design, to thickness, to material, to width (4"), to length (51"). The stitching indicates European rather than United States, but that doesn't negate its age. What is odd, though, is the designer tag on the back of the front blade:

The label appears to be something from at least the '60s (if not later), which would seem to indicate a repro. Yet the tie has the qualities of a later Bold Look example, down to the yellowed inner lining. And why would a tie label have "super 100's" on it? "Lanificio," I believe, means wool mill, but the tie's texture feels more like acetate. Is the label possibly from a suit, and sewed on years later?

So, what is it? Help me out here, guys.[huh]

being a painted tie it could be early 60s with late 40s traits. Something of a hold out in style.

Kind of like when knit ties come back now and again. perhaps a store that had an owner that missed the style of 20 years ago.
