Yeah. I remember my old limit for vintage suits was $75, and that was supposed to be pushing the boat out, for a real special suit. Then the prices arrived. :eusa_doh:

Yesterday's tie:
No label
53" x 3"
Judging by the dimensions, it appears to be post-Bold Look (c.mid-'50s). A very popular design which I'd like to find on a 3" wide tie (although more of the palm tree can be seen on the 4" varieties).
Today's "offering," of which I received a couple of compliments. A Metcalf Cravat, c.mid-'50s. Sold by "The Boston Reliable Clothing," since 1885. Never had worn this before, but I like the design, and I think that it went well with my blue shirt.

^^Thanks, QB and John. It is a nifty tie.
Now here is today's, one which is the opposite of yesterday's in more ways than one. You want Bold? You got Bold, and in bamboo. Made by Tru-Love Cravats(??), "Luxure' Rex," Custom DeLuxe Cravat, styled by Wormser. I've shown it before, but I don't think with with my early '40s, SB suit. It was actually used by Palace Costume Co. in L.A.
Normallly I wouldn't buy a vintage one like this, but it was in perfect condition and I liked it's name of 'Sugar and Spice.' This was a Goodwill purchase for 71 cents.
