Better than buzzing around my head. Nice.
The Indian Headdress tie
That is a collectible. Raxon had some beauties.

Hey guys, I hope this is the proper place to ask this question. I've been watching a lot of Edward Robinson movies lately and have noticed that his tie knots are always on the smaller side, I was wondering which knot will achieve the small knot look.

Perfect, thank you Widebrim!The Oriental, or Kent Knot produces a small knot, and is the one that I almost always use. Check it out: http://www.tieknot.com/en/small-knot.html

here's one I got a few days ago, it was quite dirty but at 20p I took a risk......hmm!
first up there were no washing instructionson the tie, these may have been removed as there seems to have been a black tag on it at some point?
I used soap flakes in roughly 30 degree water washed it by hand in a bowl....as soon as I put it in the bowl it all wrinkled up!!!
I washed it carefully anyway figuring the creases would come out when it dried or when it was cool ironed, hmm again!
after it had dried it was apparent that they had'nt come out so I spent around 3 hours!!! carefully ironing it turning it inside out and back again re ironing it etc etc only to find a flaw had surfaced near the bottom of the front of the tie, I am not sure it was all worth it but hey I had a lot of fun for 20p.
The tie says Duratye on the label and I think trading standards would have something to say about that proud boast?
It's a steel blue/duck egg blue kind of colour with black lines and silver flecks, I actually like it and would love a better example, any ideas as to country of origin or age? its 52" long.
^^Nice comment! It is especially stylish for a thin tie.
