Cool! Is that a Regal?

It is missing the tag, but I suspect you are correct. The fabric and construction details are identical to this one:

Finally got around to de-wrinkling some of thos ties from the $1 box of ties I found. No tags on any of these:

Although photos of the reverse might confirm it, those appear to be '30s ties. I particularly like the second and fifth.

No lables on this one. Black with a white embroidered peacock.

I agree with your assessment.

I'm thinking late-'30s/early-'40s, Feraud, although the vertical stiching is not typical for that time period. Might it be European? What do you say?

 

[Feraud]

What vertical stitch? The are up the backside of the front end?

 

[Marc Chevalier]

The one up the backside of the front end?

Exactly. European ties of the '30s had 'em.

[Feraud]

Thanks Marc. I didn't know that.

Q*bert!

This is a very 80s looking graphic.

Not my tie. I borrowed the pics.

Shame that there are no labels visible. Great graphics from the Bold Look era!

tie folding

On the old, colorful, rayon or acetate ties ... it seems like some of the narrower ones have a lot of material folded under and pressed.

When ties narrowed at some point, did they take the old stock and rework them? Or is there another reason so much of the tie was folded under?

Just wondering!

In some cases, yes. I've occasionally run into narrow ties made with 1930s brocade silk or rayon.


As late as the 1960s, the Oviatt's store in Los Angeles was still using its stock of 1920s/'30s moiré and brocade silks to make ties with.

As late as the 1960s, the Oviatt's store in Los Angeles was still using its large stocks of 1920s/'30s moiré and brocade silks to make ties with.

Time to remake those ties into nice width ties then.

point taken

You're reading my mind.

I have long wondered if it would be possible to remake one of the old ties, especially the really bright synthetic ones, that have been folded under.

I've never been brave enough to tear into a good one .... or lucky enough to find one that I would be willing to sacrifice just for a try.

Possible?[huh]

 

[Feraud]

I am guessing it would be hard to undo the decades worth of creasing.

A good dry cleaner should be able to recrease it---correctly.

Great tie! Similar to an early 1950s one I sold:

Thrifted these today.

No tag.

Who's ready for summer?
