Show us your TIES

[Widebrim]

I always check designs like these to see if they spell something naughty if folded in half lengthwise...

This one actually says Pabst sideways...Just kidding.

Why,...thanks Widebrim!
That one came from Ebay, I just happened to get lucky that day.
Kinda makes up for the times I wasn't so fortunate,...ie. three of the others.

Lucky you! I was contemplating on bidding on those ties, especially the first maroon-one

.. when I finally decided to place the bids they were sold allready..:eusa_doh:

Well, dog-gone-it,....now I wish there'd been two of them for sale,.....it turned out to be a really nice tie.
I wore the maroon one with the white tulips on Sunday,......with white slacks, a pair of maroon silk Trafalgar braces and a white shirt, all topped of with a nice Panama and danged if I didn't see a couple bonified double-takes from some of my fellow-parishoners!

I think I'm really gonna like this new found obsession!

Here's a solid air brushed beauty I got a few months ago (I think at a thrift store). It is labeled HAND PAINTED IN CALIFORNIA by Duval of Hollywood, and Skinner PURE SILK. It was sold by Dotson's Clo. Co. Waterloo, Iowa, and is 4" at its widest point. (Sorry that I couldn't get the who design in the scan.)

Widebrim,....that is one nice tie!!

I'm excited about this tie: it's from the 1940s, and is made of a heavy woven rayon brocade. See the sharks in it?

That is a nice one Marc.

I found this beauty at the thrift store a couple of days ago. Even though it had been worn and needed a good cleaning, the previous owner had left the original price tag on the back - I guess he wanted to be able to show people that he had a $150.00 tie. Or maybe it was to remind himself that he was a fool for blowing a hundred fifty bucks on a necktie...

I don't care about the price tag, but I love the design and I think it's going to be one of my favorite ties.

Hey, I have that same tie in orange!!

Nice find! I found mine at a flee market a few months ago. I'll post pics of it later.

Result of a badly listed eBay auction!

Here's a beauty that I found a couple of years ago. $25 on an eBay BUY IT NOW!!! Hand Painted San Francisco!!! One of my favorites, although I feel strange wearing it considering I am in Los Angeles and have never been to San Francisco. But, I am still happy to have it as part of my collection.

Actually, mine is orange too! (The seller's photo above is discolored).

Interesting, I too have an orange tie like yours. Has some kind of fish on it as well.

On the right:

 

[Feraud]

I have a tie around somewhere that states the appropriate suit colors to wear the tie.

Two Palm Beach ties.
The one on the left is narrow (approx. 2") and square bottomed.

 

[Dinerman]

The one on the left is narrow (approx. 2") and square bottomed.

Is the square bottomed one still folded like a standard palm beach tie?

 

[Feraud]

Edit -
The square bottomed tie is a four fold. The design is embroidered too..

 

[repeatclicks]

Just won these ties tonight, hopefully they look as good in person as they do in the photo!

 

[High Pockets]

Two I just recently floatin' in the Bay.

Here it goes.

Marc, now all we need to do is to run into eachother somewhere in the Los Angeles area while wearing this tie! Ha Ha! Awkward Moment! It would be just like the time I went to see Royal Crown Revue and the sax player Mando Dorame was wearing the exact same Kamehameha hawaiin shirt that I was!

 

[Enigma1947]

Here's something cool I found!

I collect vintage yearbooks and when I am dying of bordom I flip thru the pages looking at all the neckties in hopes of finding someone wearing one that I own. I think I actually found one! This pic is from the 1950 Pasadena City College yearbook. I'm pretty sure it's the same design! What do you think?

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Great ties! What's amazing (as seen in the yearbook photo) is how short he tied his tie...
