Show us your TIES

I agree. Most of the swirly, swooshy, airbrushed ties from that era that I've seen are indeed butt ugly. A lot of them are sooooooo damn wide, too. Really ridiculous.

None of this stops me wearing them, but some of them are really hard on the eyes.

Wide and hard on the eyes. Sounds like just what I want. lol lol

Of course. To make it sound more positive: In my opinion all of you have far better ties than this. I liked all the bold palm trees and the sugar and spice one too. :-D

I can only agree with all my heart. But then I don't even like those palm trees, sugar canes and what not. With a few very rare exceptions I'm strictly a solid tie man. I'm all the way there with Cary Grant... lol

I like the Bold Look ties as they are iconic for a certain time period and have some interesting designs. I tend to prefer simple clean lines and nothing too busy but in ties it is used to set off the rest of the clothes and so some excess is permissable.

I understand how one can find a certain style tie unattractive. We all have different tastes.
Painted ties remind me of warm summer days. I like wearing them to work with lightweight, light colored clothing.

I agree with both of you!

Okay, something toned down for today...A Superba tie, with 100% Dacron fabric made by Princeton, and sold by Tfank, Inc. (?), Hackensack, NJ. I thought that the color of the motifs went well with the shirt (the stone on the tie clip is very similar in color, too.)

A circa 1955-59 Superba I am guessing. I don't know if I would put a tie shark on a dacron tie though. You are a brave man or the tie cost less than $3.

Yes, that time frame is correct. And you know the answer to your second inquiry, Jack...

Both are great. A towncraft and an Arco. They are in great shape.

 

[John in Covina]

While i am not big on butterflies that tie is really nice!

 

[Widebrim]

^^Agree. Arco made some cool ties, and so did Towncraft at times.

Found these today at the Salvation Army for 1$ each.

 

[Widebrim]

^^Good price. The first on the left appears to be c.late-'50s/early-'60s.

It's a Penny's tie(Van Heusen) and the tag looks very old...

It says it's made of; 60% acetate, 30% Rayon, and 10% GLASS:eeek:
