I have been wearing bowties a lot lately....originals are either in bad shape or do not come close to fitting. Here however is one of my favorite cravats of the "golden era" that I still do wear occasionally.
Cheers,
M
Ps: I do have quite a collection of wool army cravats from the 30's and 40's in kaki, various shades of olive, varied shades of "drab" and black.

Ah, ok! Couldn't remember it, cause completely different in construction and label. Maybe yours is much older?
Will show you another picture of the label...

Thanks guys. It's been dry in the tie world around here lately. I was going to mention that I ran into the competition, a fellow collector that is, at a Salvation Army a couple of weeks ago. He was looking for 40s and earlier ties and I asked him what he does with them. He said he has to wear a tie 5 days a week, so he wears them.

Nice looking tie Bob. It's still been dry in the tie world here too. A bit of a Berkley (Ties the World) from my collection did see some sun today.

I don't know if I'm hoping the supply picks up or not. I have a huge pile that I still need to get hung up. And my hunging up space is getting to be in short supply. About a year ago my favorite thrift got in a box full of new in the package plastic tie hangers. I think they do 10 or a dozen ties per hanger. I bought about 10 of them. Now I'm wishing I had taken the whole box. Ha ha.

Love that tie Michael. It looks great with the suit and hat combo.
