Now I am sure your grandfather had good taste. No a bad one in the bunch!

Today's specimen: 4-1/4" wide, Smoothie "Imperial," feels like it could be silk. It's not knot-planned, although the skinny end suggests it. It has a wonderful brocade.

Excellent ties from your grand-dad; Wormser had some great offerings. Here's mine from right now; sort of a later version of the popular Bold Look polka dot necktie. Label indicates that it is made of silk from France:

Digging this one. Is it yours, J.?

I have one in blue.

Washing five tomato vine ties in the wash right now. They get dirty ever year out in the weather.

Nice ties lately, both plainer and skinnier ones.

Here's a couple I found that are a step up, I guess, from clip-ons.

This one has a weird built in knot that the short end slips in to. It's fairly short, don't know if its for an older kid, or just meant to be worn with high waisted pants. I'm 6'3" so it's ridiculously short on me, even with really high pants.

This one's a little more "grown up". You can tie it how it suits you, then it has a little clip, like a bowtie with a rental tux, so you can just leave it tied.

Neither one has a label

^Interesting ties DH--both with nice designs. Paradoxically, it seems to me like it would be more of a hassle and more time consuming to tie these pre-tied versions that it would be to tie a standard necktie. [huh]

 

[Widebrim]

Great ties, DH. The first one does look like it's for young men.

Agreed. It comes from a time when even children wore ties.

Children wearing ties...Gee, imagine that...

So you were the man I saw running around San Francisco with a bunch of neckties, chasing children, screaming something about "You will wear this!" Market Street bring out the best in people

 

[Widebrim]

^^Great. :eusa_clap Yeah, that was him.

Scares the Hell out of the Hippies there. The Man chasing them with a symbol of his oppression.

And the tie of the day is:

^^Nice. Palm tree ties were certainly popular then.
