Show us your TIES

Scored this skinny mid-century clip on bow at a flea market today.

Diggin' it Dale.

I used to wear a coat and tie to work every day, but my one concession to nonconformity was to wear ties that expressed my hobbies and interests, like hunting...

fishing...

boating...

horsey stuff...

golf and games...

a good smoke, and a few special occasions related...

etc. Of course, now and then a fella needs a good bow...

and then (heaven forbid!) there are occasions which require a something a bit more staid...

nowadays I usually wear a fishing shirt, khakis, and driving mocs. But I just can't get rid of the ties!

Received the awesome gift of animal ties from @Dnewma04. Thanks again sir. Can't wait to wear them!

Thrifted a few this week. Only one really old one in the bunch (and it may not clean up). It will be fun to wear the "Personal Computer" one to my I.T. job.

Thanks Dale. Not as cool as a vintage one, but I still like it.

I have been wanting to post this interesting tie for quite a while. I don't have much from my father. He has been gone since 1975, mom just sent everything to charity. I was a kid and didn't appreciate his vintage ties, so I only have one to remember him by.

I am interested in any information that the Lounge Gurus can provide about this one. It is pleated with a purple highlight. There are remnants of what appears to be hand painted details. I love this tie for so many reasons. The dimensions are, 3" wide and a length of 54" The brand is Roberts Bros. Fashion Craft. Any information provided will probably make me cry a bit.

It's a real beauty! The style was popular in the 40s and 50s. That's about as close as I can get you.

I'm planning to wear this at the weekend. Normally wouldn't wear somethi9ng so bright but the quality is amazing, the image doesn't do justice to the richness of the silk.

At $3.99 this was way above my normal tie budget, but ... well ... Hermes.

Also ... I like fish.

Great find man!

Thanks Harv. My first Hermes was 85-cents. These things are getting expensive!

I thought that Countess Mara was a pretty sweet find until I scrolled down and saw the Navajo Weavers one. Superb find right there!!

Yeah ... I was not leaving without that one. I have a new Zuni tie pin to pair with it.
