Wow..that certainly is a 'statement' tie and in the right way as well!
A few more sedate numbers from me all picked up for a couple of quid each. late 40's tootal special quality which is really nice, a 40's Irish Poplin that has some nasty damage but luckily its right where I knot it. The slim black quality

tootal looks for all the world to be 60's but is rayon which seems to jar a little, perhaps it's 50's?

Say, thanks guys! The 40s tootal is my personal favourite. The poplin although a very expensive tie in it's day (as they are now!) is, for me, just not a great fabric. I don't know why but it just feels 'wrong'. Weird!

Metatron - Thanks for the compliments. That tie on the left you have there is exactly like one I have myself - does yours have a fabric content label? I can't seem to work out what mine is made out of. I'll post it at some point to compare!

Sorry, I know this is from centuries ago, I haven't been as active in this thread as I could have.
No fabric label! I guess it is either polyester or a wool/polyester blend. Somehow I doubt it is 100% wool

I am in Cyprus at the moment, and I really didn't expect to find wool ties here, but nevertheless, after a trip to a couple of second hand shops:

One is Lochcarron, and the other is by Belvedere (made in Austria). The Belvedere is unlined.
very pleased!

Nice start Jamesmac1801! Welcome to the fun, I'm sure if you spend much time around here, that collection will get completely out of hand. I really like the one to the far left in the photo.
