^^Thin tie lovers are on the right track; you've derailed...And hippies did at times wear (wide) ties, even with all their anti-establishment posturing:

Here's one that we all can hopefully agree on: "Custom Tailored by Como," late '30s/early '40s; feels like silk, no lining.

You call those ties?! They look almost as bad as the hippies they are on. :rofl:
:laser: :hippie: They tried to hide and look normal but I got them anyway.
You know far too much about hippies. Are you sure you weren't one way back then. Long hair and free love, dope smoking etc., etc. :eeek:

Como was 30s-40s? I thought they were a 50s brand. Hmmmmm....
What does the label look like?

Ties seem to come in clusters for me. After months of nothing, suddenly I get 3 ties in 2 days. Here's today's find, a nice knotplanned Hollyvogue.

The label is typical of what you'd find at that time. The construction, length, design really point to a pre-Bold Look time period.

No that is a tie! Nice pattern, nice width, excellent brand. It has it all. :clap:
So last weekend I was at a flea market, came to the last vender, and found two vintage scarves. Whilst conversing, the seller informed me that she had a "big box of vintage ties somewhere in the van." She assured me they were all older than 1970. After some prompting on my part, she located the box and had me lift them out of the van. Sure enough, she had about 50 ties in all--but vintage, I think not. Most were of the 80's/70's persuasion and a couple 60's skinnies with nothing noteworthy aside from ugliness. However, I found two acceptable ones. The first was a custom jobbie made by San Francisco Cravat Shop (or was it shoppe?) of green silk with white leaves. I was tempted, but it was a dog and she wanted too much. At the bottom of the box I found the second and the keeper. French silk. She wanted $10 for it, but I negotiated a deal for the scarves and tie that brought the tie down to $3. It has two labels: the one pictured and another Marshall Fields & Co of Chicago. Purchasing this tie helped, but it took some time to snap out of dreams of finding 50 vintage ties stuffed in a box in a van. "Vintage" sellers--can't trust the one of um.
P.s. the dots are a silver-gray even though the lighting makes them look yellowed.

Check out the scarf show and tell thread. I was worried that if I posted them here, you'd ask where are the ties.
