For a minute there I thought Hollyvogue was still around from that website. Not them I see. [huh]

Correct, it is not the original Hollyvogue...

Pleated ties are still made and sold. Look here: http://www.hollyvogue.com/IBS/SimpleCat/product/ASP/hierarchy/00/product-id/187817.html

Yes, I had seen those a while back on their site, but the tips are not done in the "waterfall" style of earlier days.

Nor even close to a pleated tie as shown here previously. [huh]

A black, pleated, rayon necktie, made by the same company as the maroon one that I posted, Legath. The company was located in Allentown, PA. (Sorry, again, that the photo isn't larger.)

Very nice, MS! Looks early '50s, if I'm not mistaken. How wide is it, and are there any labels?...

My fave shirt and tie for sure

 

[Dinerman]

I've posted it before, but since we're on the subject here's an alternative type of pleated tie I got at an antique store two winters back. With all the pleating and extra paneling, it weighs a ton.

 

[Feraud]

Thanks for reposting the tie Dinerman. I do not recall having seen it before.
Do you wear it much and like the diagonal pleats?

 

[Dinerman]

The diagonal pleats certainly give it an interesting look, but I don't wear it much.

It's really quite incredible just how much fabric is used in this tie.

Here's a couple I found at a thrift store a couple of days ago. Looking at the length, stitching and such I'd say they are pre-WW2.

The tie on the left has a good color scheme.

How is this preWar stuff still surfacing in America I ask....in a loft Mrs Cleaver? Down Under I saw the first genuine 40s suits the other day and 20 years ago they were everywhere...now all but dried up.

........There was fashion for abstract ties at one time and I can't remember whether it was before or after the second world war. The tie on the right even though I don't like this genre generally speaking is absolutely knockout.....it really is superb. I remember reading somewhere that a lot of leading abstract painters like Picasso and Dali had collaborated on some project where each designed a tie and then they were sold with proceeds to charity.......did this ever happen?

 

[Feraud]

That may be the case in certain parts of America.
The lifespan must be better in other parts of the U.S. because the goods we appreciate barely show up in thrift stores in NYC. That generation must have passed on or moved out of the city.
