Haven't posted here before, but I thought I'd share this one. Mine is missing the label.
Wanna sell it?

OK guys what should a good tie be made from?

Uh, no. Ties like that stay in collections. If stripes were the state flower then you could have them all.
I bet you say that to the elves at Christmas time, too! LOL!
As not being a Guy, I hope my 2 cents worth is still o.k., Silk is always nice however I've seen some very nice ties made from wool, cotton, rayon, that also were super nice looking ties. I think the cut of the tie and colors or patterns make or break a nice tie. I recently purchased a home/hand made bow tie, the seller makes them from older Ralph Lauren shirts and incorporates the logo into the boy tie. I am sure it is made of all cotton.

Silk for sure. It might not be as durable as some of the other material but it has a hand all its own.
Speaking of such, I went by the local St. Vincent’s today looking for golf stuff and found nothing so I decided to check out the ties. I was pretty shocked to find even one bold tie but then I looked and found another and another… I found seven ties all by Saks & Co.----silk. I threw in three more not so great ties to take advantage of the volume discount. A silk Nordstrom tie that has an interesting pattern, a thinner later 50s tie and a really boring striped tie marked Terylene Warp Silk Weft. I got it because it looked different and I never have come across something so deceptively named. lol lol It isn’t silk for sure. Feels like sandpaper.
It has a W. Forsyth Ltd. Label in it as well. Good for tying up the tomatoes next season I guess. Some of the Saks ties look like they have actually been narrowed. There is an inordinate amount of fabric folded into it. I’ll check it later and get some photos.

Yeah, for one.
I nearly fainted when I actually got my hands on some vintage ties at a thrift store-----and not junky ones with HUGE holes either.

Yeah, aside from the blue one.....
A few more pictures:
The extra material that looks like the tie was narrowed:
The brown swirls tie is actually modern and not a thick mess. The label explains some of it:
It still has its $65 price tag on it. :doh:

Absolutely! I would go further and say that the last two are utterly beautiful and the very last one is damn near perfect.

Great ties, but I'd have to say, the top two are the jewels in the crown.
