I like the London Cravat tie Eddie!

Thanks! First I've seen!

The mother in law worked at Viyella for a while too!

Interesting! When was that then? It was a big local employer, and provided skilled job opportunities, but has gone the way of so many companies now.
Mind you, what I miss the most is the factory shop! So many nice items at dirt-cheap! I remember I bought about five or six silk scarves, all same pattern but different colours, for about £20, as well as knitted silk ties, jumpers, jackets, shirts - all sorts!

Oh it would have been in the 1980 I guess as she moved to Holland in the late 80's.

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

That's when my folks were there! It appears to me like the 1980s was its heyday, when they were expanding to include all manner of labels as well as still producing the wool and cotton blend that made them so famous (but which has all but disappeared now).

If you can't sort out the London Cravat I'll find room in my wardrobe for it Eddie !

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

I'll keep you in mind

Borderline boring, guessing mid/late 50s, Countess Mara. Not bad for under a buck.

I thought of Eddie and Esteban over the weekend. I found a plaid Pendleton necktie in the racks at the local thrift store. I didn't but it, I just found it.

Nice CM. Like your subtle influences (accident) in the photo. Those boots made in three pieces, or some may ask, a one piece top?

Thanks, and well.........technically yes, but with the inlay they're more like five or six piece tops.

The apex of the tailfin era! [emoji3]

Both.

Both.

That was the best model produced in that era. The Eldorado Biarritz convertible is truly a beauty to behold.

For shame. I'd have taken it off your hands! I have a dearth of nice American ties.

You're beginning to sound like jp. Inlay doesn't count.

Maybe I better check out of here for awhile. [emoji14]

Don't do that. We'll wait to see if the intervention works.
