:rofl: I wear them all the time. Nobody says boo.If I wear a plain stripe or solid then they would think I was going to a funeral.
I'm not afraid of boo-sayers. I'd be afraid of shrieking back at me after catching a glimpse of my frenetically betied(sic!) self in the reflection of a shop window. That's my main concern. Honestly.
If it doesn't shriek, it ain't worth wearing.
From 1946-52 and anything from the 1970s.
That leaves several eras of ties out for you then.
I actually - and very seriously - pondered the idea of buying this one. I would put it in the back of my closet and only look at it by candle light in the dead of night when everyone is sound asleep so I wouldn't have to be afraid of any disturbances. You know...I'm pretty sure all my neighbors are watching me already... :eeek:
Take a chance, Mario...
What was that movie where everyone was living in black and white until someone found color? We need to move people to Bold Color and patterns.
these are two of the first ties i ever bought (i was into the 1950s when i started out). i always assumed they were mid-1950s but have never been quite certain. can anyone accurately date them ?
the motif on the houndstooth one looks hand painted.
John Lofgren Monkey Boots Shinki Horsebuttt - $1,136 The classic monkey boot silhouette in an incredibly rich Shinki russet horse leather.

Interesting but not $35 interesting. It is also super thin.
