Show us your TIES

[Eddie Derbyshire]

True that. I never wear club or regimental ties - but I must admit I collect them if they're about. My grandfather once wore one he picked up by accident and got challenged on the street! He never realised it was regimental tie!

Is there a website showing all regimental etc?

 

[jamespowers]

That's a nice tie JP , trouble is over here there's so many regimental, university and school ties out there not to mention rugby and cricket clubs etc that it'd take you a month to identify to which it belonged and if you could get away with wearing it!

Which is why I just don't want to be bothered with those. With my luck, I would run into someone who would not be too nice about it either.

There's a uniform website selling them (can't remember the name but just Google them) but then they're only the modern ones still in use. Joshua Barrett found out about one he had so perhaps he has a source.

A couple of recent Salvation Army finds.

A childrens tie, no label, just 35" long and 1 1/2" wide. I just liked the embroidered sea horse.

Nice finds!

Found this one at the thrifty earlier this evening.

 

[Bamaboots]

Wow! Looks like Chinese New Years. Nice one, Dale.

Wow! Looks like Chinese New Years. Nice one, Dale.

Thanks. It's crazy short, but much like your seahorse tie, was just too cool to leave behind.

I just did various image searches online and mainly used sights like this: http://www.regimentalshop.com/shop/products/101-Regimental-Ties-for-British-Army-Regiments/ to search out designs - be aware though, not all sites have all the designs - this one for example doesn't have the design I was looking for.

Nice one! The dragon going after the Fiery Pearl of immortality etc.

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

Reminds me of Dragonball Z! I like it dh66!

 

[jamespowers]

And the tie of the day is:

 

[dh66]

That's a wild one!

Or is it a tame one?

 

[jamespowers]

Both.

Here's a couple I've acquired in the last week, this 'Glen Saxe' from Ebay at a very good price, understated and mint condition;

Not sure if there was a retailers label thats been cutout here though, red and white bit just left of centre? certainly appears so on the inside there does seem to be the remant of a label

48" long, blade 3 7/8" wide, very lightweight summer? construction

 

[esteban68]

....and this 'Hope Brothers' charity shop find a whopping fifty pence for this one!

49" long, blade 3" wide

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

Very nice! I had my eye on that Glen Saxe myself

It's no use looking Eddie get bidding!
