Well, I have no idea when they were made, but they sure are cool. I think it would be quite fun to see the various color combinations that would result from different folds.:D

I tend to prefer more plain looking ties myself (single color, simple stripes, or polka dots), though I only have a couple vintage ties. I am actually very fond of polka dot ties and have noticed that they are showing up in stores a bit more lately. I think that completely plain (i.e...

I'm gonna give this knot a try. I think the right pattern on a tie would help the layered part of this knot (that was nicely highlighted in the last post) stand out.

I think really long suspenders would be a more practical approach for this look.

I love the blues, especially the pre-war stuff. I had the honor and pleasure of seeing and meeting Honeyboy Edwards in New Orleans last year. He's still touring in his mid-90s!

I am completely on the "dress for comfort" side of this. I always wear a Hawaiian style shirt, hiking shorts (with velcro pockets, or jeans in colder weather), and running shoes. I've found that wearing a shirt with at least one breast pocket always comes in handy. On longer trips I've...
