So is mine so I will be point man.

Good n' random, James. Is it bad that my bewilderment made me watch for 60 seconds?

Recently I went on a hunt for some ties to add to my Husband's already tie stash, as over the past year I've purchased suits, sports jackets, shoes, hats, (sold a few as well) but more or less getting his line of clothing up and ready for him this spring. The real light powder blue is an oldie Wembley "rayon" in near new condition. The Paisley is an older Dior tie, who knows maybe 1960 to late 1980's?
The Fedora tie, now that was a no Brainer. Vintage tie with a Vintage illustration style pictures on the tie. Screams Vintage. Says "made by Hand" on the back. (Sally Hand)? ? (just teasing).

I did not get a good full shot of the flashy tie that says Club Tropicana on it. That ties is a dead ringer for a real vintage tie...but...it is not so! Tommy Bahama brand. But it does look nice, flashy for when you get back to driving and just edge out of a speeding ticket...

The widest tie is the Club Tropicana, at 4 inches wide, and real long....
Then the Paisley is almost that wide as well. The vintage fedora tie is silk, has seen better days but it is not all done yet. The illustrations are really clear if you get close and there is a material weave sort of pattern everywhere underneath all that.

I felt these colors would go well with light blues, tan, beige,ivory, pants, suits, sportcoats, and be frisky enough to support the two tone spectator shoes and fedora's Daniel will be wearing real soon.

You sure it was just bewilderment?

Not in back just second in line. And happy birthday, I thought you stopped counting at 65.

Great tie.

 

[Annixter]

Today's: 3-3/4" wide, no labels, feels like rayon.

 

[DamianM]

Also one is listed if anyone is interested

 

[Widebrim]

^^Dang, that is beautiful fabric, Damian.

 

[DamianM]

It sure is Lee. Love it.

 

[Widebrim]

You would know...I'll stop once I get past 39...

Happy belated, Lee. May the tie-hunting gods send you some good finds this weekend.

I did pick up a nifty mid-'50s silver tie on Friday.

Silver is a good color to go with the green of my tomato vines.
