Constuction is very similar to Tootals from the same period.

Geez, they could have come up with a better name for the color. Rust does not exactly make a good selling point. :p

You managed to type that entire sentence without using the word 'boring'. Well done. Maybe you are learning to appreciate that sometimes a plain rust coloured tie is exactly what an outfit is calling out for! :):(:eek:

Well perhaps these ties will go towards showing that British ties do have some life in them! (Although I for one would happily wear a 'rust' tie, scrapheap or no ;) )

Three 'Klipper' ties:


I have never come across a tie so physically bright before. It's practically fluorescent! Appropriate for a rave I'd say. But what slacks does one wear for a rave? The label reads 'Atkinson's Irish Tweed, Made Expressly for Sims Reid, Gravesend'


And a nice plaid one, I'm not sure on the cloth - seems like maybe rayon? Doesn't feel like wool anyway. No label.


Admittedly they are all plaid. I suppose that's as far as patterns go...

All these ties got me to going through my stash. Both are Salvation Army finds. The first is a Wembley bearing a Blachs dept. store label. Blachs operated in Birmingham from 1885 to 1987. The second is a Via Manzoni. Don't know much about it. Both are 3" wide and 54" long.

Nice ones Bamaboots.
I remember Blachs. Now you've got the fever, don't ya? I rarely wear them, mostly just collect, but they sure take up a lot less space than all my cowboy boots.

I like the color of the rust tie, Esteban68. Usually relegate them to cooler weather wearing, but I have a few shirts in similar shades. It's very versatile with greens and greys.

Eddie those plaids are sporty. That Atkinson's is electric! Where do you put the batteries?
