The fold out hanger is a very nice feature. Congratulations!

Weeg...

I have one JUST like it... Who'd have thought 1980s purchases would now fall into the "vintage" category. God, I'm old!

Tie Case

That's a classy item! I have been thinking about one as the modern stuff is not real good.

I also have one

Inherited from my father in law, a very stylish gentleman.
It is very similar, same color and folding hanger system but it has a pocket marked for handkerchiefs and a section marked for bowties.

I guess you can add me to the I have one crowd. They are great.
The leather on mine is textured but more or less the same. They have been around for a long time. It could be vintage. Ask Art not me.

Regards,

Man, there used to be travel cases for everything. They even made ones for stiff-bosomed tuxedo shirts. Flat, rectangular leather cases. Couldn't risk bending those starched shirts in transit! lol

Yeah, they could crack like veneer.

And there were round leather cases for detachable collars and studs. (Same problem with bending; those collars were starched.)

Hey! That's the way I like my shirts.

A lot of those old collar boxes have survived because folks found other uses for them after detachable collars went out of style. Travel cases for stiff, collarless tuxedo shirts weren't so fortunate ...

Wait a minute! A case for the whole shirt?! I need one of those.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Would you believe I just gave one away to the Goodwill? Oh well, it was kind of falling apart, anyway.

[WH1]

with all of those cases...

no wonder they needed the big steamer trucks and 15 pieces of luggage for a trip. I use mine all the time. It actually does a very good job of protecting my ties and other accessories.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I could have glued or taped it. [huh]

Well-off Victorians in particular were manic about having a case and utensil for everything under the sun (and above it). Ever seen a Victorian dinner service set? They have pieces you didn't even know you needed. Specialization in excelsis.

But I need a fish fork.

Naw, the leather was rotten. Too bad, too: it was soft glove leather. Couldn't be saved.
