To the races! A Hollyvogue "De Luxe" sold at Siegel's of San Francisco. Maybe it saw some use at one of the multiple famous tracks?

A solid tie; I can see some jake wearing it at Santa Anita, c.1948...

Here are two recent acquisitions:

A nifty hand-painted silk example from Barr and Sons, Montclair (CA?), and a Lily Dache' job titled, "Bombay."

Lily retired in 1968 so it has to be before that. Her daughter took over the business after she retired though.
This is one of those jump on the designer label capitalized on by women's fashion designers. Women bought men most of their clothes back then and many still do today. A tie with a woman's designer label had a certain marketing appeal. Then again, you knew that.

I can't imagine trusting my wardrobe to someone else's taste. [shudder]

Same here. My gal loves the look of vintage... but she always requests modern styles, since being in vintage attire seems to "dressed up"... One can imagine what would happen if she had the control of my wardrobe!

 

[Baron Kurtz]

I have no idea why anyone would want to depict bindweed on a tie, but there you go.

 

[splintercellsz]

Perfect for the lad whom works with plants!?

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Yeah, but no-one who works with plants (like me) wants to see the rotten stuff anywhere near them. Awful, invasive stuff.

I was looking for a CM at the bottom of this...it has that style.

Here's today's acquistion. No labels, but I'm quite pleased with it, especially considering it cost me just $2.

True but we are an anomly in this community; I think.
Go walk around in your community and see if you think men buy what they wear. For the most part, it looks like their mother dressed them---when they were six. :eusa_doh:

That was a good buy for sure. Nice pattern.

I think I have one just like that!

 

[Quigley Brown]

Goodwill find today...creepy-looking Pilgrim probably from mid-50s. His father was four and a half inches wide...

Oh dear me, this late 1940s bold look tie is a horror …

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Another pink-un. Botany …

That isn't bad. The 1970s versions were much worse. I usually don't like Paisley but this is muted enough for me.

 

[jamespowers]

Another pink-un. Botany …

Ah yes, Botany before the 500.

BK: If you think the pink paisley tie is such a horror, I recommend you resolve the issue of the discomfort it causes you by selling it to me.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Ha! No i think not. It's made of the finest crepe silk I think of any of my ties.
