.

Here is a finished auction that shows some great examples of '30s summer ties. All these ties (circa 1937) are made of a Palm Beach Cloth-type fabric (linen and mohair).

If you're going for a Golden Era summer look, these can inspire you:

Is that madras? Or something similar?

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Nope. Madras is made of cotton and colored with vegetable dyes. The ties above are made of a linen / mohair blend, and are almost certainly more colorfast than ties made of madras.
