Loving that Diamond Head! First Hawaiian necktie I have seen without Hula and Palm motifs.
Don't read too much into that - I need to get out more
It would be better with hula girls though.

Man, I really didn't want to buy any more ties. :eusa_doh:Summer weight 1930s Mohair Necktie
Five inches wide is more 70s than 40s. lol lolI've been thinking about making another homemade necktie. How long and wide are the average late 40's bold look neckties? According to Wikipedia the average bold look tie was 48 inches long, by 5 inches wide, but I wanted to check here to be sure. How long from the tip of the wide part, is it till the tie becomes the thin part which you put around your neck?
Not true,here is a really wide Bold look 5 inch hand painted necktie by hollyvogue.
And don't get me started on my 6 1/2 inch 1910s neckties
The 70s Just copied everything from previous decades and made made them ugly
Wikipedia said:Widths reached 5 inches (13 cm), and designs included Art Deco, hunting scenes, scenic "photographs", tropical themes, and even girlie prints, though more traditional designs were also available. The typical length was 48 inches (120 cm).
As bold as possible.

A few years ago, my grandfather died and left all his worldly possessions, including a bunch of old ties. The last time I was in El Paso, I decided to take his ties. (I would have taken his suits too, but my luggage is only so big.) Here are some pictures of some of my favorites.

They're all 4 inches wide, except for the orange one. That one is 4.25. I'm pretty sure that all of these are forties ties, but my grandfather lived a long life. I should probably mention that my grandfather was a very understated man. He prefer subtlety and simplicity both in his mannerisms, and his dress. That might be why I never saw him wearing these (Of course, it might just have been that he was well into his 80's, and just couldn't be arsed). Still, cool ties. Hope I helped in your quest for the perfect Bold Look tie, Mr. Spectator.
I dunno, either. It's supposed to show thumbnails of the images, too. I tried playing around with it in the editor, but to no avail. [huh]
Edit: How about now?
