Show us your TIES

[chanteuseCarey]

Thank you for the encouraging words, Lee. Tom is quite interested in the vintage idea in general, just have to tread lightly and slowly. The details and fabrics really intrigue him especially, as the vintage clothing and accessories were so exquisitely done.

You're on the right track, Carey. As you know, ties are essential when pulling off that vintage, city clothes look. Bravo. -Lee

^^Another Haband! (Never heard of the One of a Kind series.) And I agree with Quigley...

The knot planned leaves kind of balance it though.

Never heard of it because they are one of a kind. They were considerably more expensive so few ever got into circulation from what I can see. There were plenty of good Haband ties that weren't one of a kind.

^^^A funny man...I tell you, we really should write a book about Haband ties.

I've been reading some posts about knot planned, could you explain what that means? Certain ties only tie well as certain knots, you mean?

Sure. I can explain. Some ties have a pattern that when tied correctly, the knot is a different pattern that the tie body. The ties had to be planned out so the knot would work out correctly on the tie--thus knot planned tie. Here is one example---tied incorrectly but it gives you an idea:

Notice that the knot is meant to be solid brown and different from the tie pattern. Here is an untied example:

Liking that Salmon tie...no idea why but I like it!....here's three finds from earlier this week in a local charity/thrift shop all at 99p(why can't they just be a whole pound each?).... one's is a 1960's? Tricel/Rayon? Duggie cravat and one is a fairly modern 'NEXT' tie but made in raw silk? in the UK...Macclesfield silk? but a retro/vintage pattern that will go well with my cream linen suit I think...obviously there's one of my favourite 'tweedy' wool ties in the mix too, it's 2 3/4" x 51"!

I rather like the Duggie cravat.

 

[esteban68]

It's virtually mint if not mint TT it just needs a cool iron with a cloth over it, a bit too sixties? for me I think but I had to save it, guess I'll pass it on as I have afairly good selection of cravats now colour wise.

Here's a couple, by the same company, both featuring foxes! Circa 1930's I think. Tags read "By Donegal, Cohama California Swagger" and both have union tags.

First one with a motif of the Aesop fable "The Fox and the Crow" - complete with a wedge of cheese!

Second one features red foxes jumping around what appear to be a herd of little yellow lambs. Run lambs, run!

Another Haband!

M.D. I love the Yellowstone - great colours in a simple pattern.

Hyena - the fox/crow/cheese tie has to be one of the weirdest ties I have even seen. I wouldn't wear it - but I love it!

Esteban: I'll take the duggie cravat off your hands - how about a swap for a tie? I know you like the wool ties, I've got some spare ones sitting around.
