A knot planned tie. Nice. You got it tied correctly too.

Thanks, professor...

Brown National Day - late 50's?

Yeah, it likely is late-'50s, judging by the width. For me, square-bottomed ties are collectibles.

From today: A Haband rayon tie, brocade design background, c.early-'50s, which sort of features a planned knot.

That's a sharp one!

Is that what that is called? A planned knot. I have one tie that has a pattern on the tie but a different pattern where the knot is tied so it has a really cool look.

Talkin' about square-bottomed, here's a couple examples with simple, yet sophisticated designs.

Yes. That is a knot planned tie. Hut was one of the companies that really made quite a lot of them. The ties were designed so that when tied, the knot would have one pattern and the tie blade would be another. It works very well too. As long as you are aware of that, the tie can be tied without much worry about getting it right.

Oh and I got my Cowboy ties book and finished it a few days ago. I would say it was worth the $1.50 I spent for it. Many handpainted cowboy theme tie pictures along with a few string ties, bolas and scarfs. I actually have a few ties that are similar to the pictures. I guess that makes me a cowboy tie collector now.

You call that square bottomed Quigley tie "pre-breast cancer awareness"

You're right, it does look like that emblem.

Thanks! I have more to come...

^^I've said it before, and that is that there were some great minimalist designs available on some mid-to-late-'50s neckties.

 

[Quigley Brown]

Here's a very fine example of a finely-woven folded tie from the early 60s (no label). It measure 2.5 inches at its widest point. It makes a great summer tie...

[Widebrim]

^^Yeah, I like the color scheme.

And on the other end of the spectrum---we have the tie that someone beat me out on at the last second. :eusa_doh:

Is it edible?

 

[jamespowers]

Is it edible?

Nah, it is just eye candy not tie candy.

 

[Widebrim]

^^^Why, that is some mare...

Not sure if this is the right place to post but I have a question for all you seasoned tie collectors!

I have quite a few vintage ties from the thrift store which are crinkled and have lost their shape, how can I get them looking wearable again? Is there some way to gently iron the ties without making them 2D and flat?
