Hey Widebrim I thought Rice-A-Roni was the true San Francisco treat.

^^Yeah, I guess you could say that, SSC. (At least the tie has a trolley on it.)

Nice tie Widebrim.
Mine for the day. Interesting duel fabric with the red being recessed. No labels. The stitching on the outer fabric was coming loose from the red, but a little mending and it's back on the neck.
Beautiful design. What's the width of it?

For other reasons I was comparing "rollers"/calendered (green) with yarn tension method (red) moire fabric and my best illustration was a very low end calendered early 30s tie (standard "Hand Tailored, Resilient Construction" label), and a very high end Amos Sulka early-middle 30s tie made using the tension method.

I'll take the Sulka.

Similar to the French Panel ties of the time.

Today's: J. Johnson & Sons, New Haven. 4" wide.
I love the tipped ties. Stetson also made tipped ties in the same period.

And the tie of the day has fireworks.

And I have a couple of Haband's that are tipped. That little accent can really brighten up even an ordinary necktie.

Definitely. Ah, when Haband didn't make junk in foreign countries. Those were the days.....

^^You got that right. I stopped buying anything from Haband years ago, due to everything coming from Myanmar, Pakistan, etc. (and I wrote them a letter telling them exactly that). And here are two Haband examples, both acetate, c.-early '50s:

Both nice examples. Not too thin either.
