Even the bin price seems reasonable, considering what I've seen nudie ties going for.
That's partially what got me wondering about the other details I describe above because the price seems low.

Those were made yesterday. Saint Pierre is a decent tie maker but they are made now in a vintage style. If it is cheap enough buy it. p
I did a little research after reading JP's post. Saint Pierre ties were designed by Richard Artunian, a 'necktie historian', so, yes, probably this tie is not as old as it would appear.I wouldn't say it's cheap--certainly not cheap for your and my taste--but I'm interested. My concern is whether its a 50's reproduction or a true vintage, for that changes the whole value for me when I'm looking to drop that kind of money on a tie.

Happy Valentine's Day to you too.
Nice one!
I guess I should've wrote that my boss gave it to me yesterday as a Valentines gift......and, no, it's not an inter-office romance. :eeek:
They make a very nice western style shorty when tied with a Windsor knot.
We could always donate them to JP for his sacrificial rituals to the wide-tie, bold-era gods?
Indeed.
I swung by a thrift store today and found two late 50's boring skinnies and one early 50's plain navy-blue wool tie with a tag stating it was woven by Indians in New Mexico. I couldn't bring myself to purchase them, even at $3 each. The Native American woven tie was cool because I've never seen one, but I would never do anything with a plain blue 2" wide tie, and it had a snagged thread that would kill the resale aspect.
Don’t give them to me! I already have enough junk ties that I tie up the tomato vines with and I don’t know how to make rag rugs by hand like my grandmother used to.Yes, I always have the same thoughts go through my head when I stumble across a tie I don't really want: maybe a fellow lounger might want it? It would be a shame to see it sold for rags. Beggars can't be choosers, and I don't want to mess up my bold-tie-finding karma. What's $3 anyway. Etc. It seems like the more ties I put in the closet, the pickier I'm becoming and the more accepting I am of passing up less-wanted ties. If I knew I had a FL member who would buy them off me, I'd be happy, but more often than not I'd end up paying for a boring tie no one wants.
