Show us your TIES

Thanks Bama, Dale and Eddie. I see lots of high asking prices, but I think these older Hermes are selling in the $20 - $40 range. The newer ones for more.

Picked this one up yesterday for the princely sum of £1 so thats 5/- a tie.

Dreamofgilgamesh -- I like them both, but the one on the left in particular. Nice finds.

Cool double header, Dreamofgilgamesh! Good colors.

 

[Two Types]

Always good to see a 4-in-One tie.

Nothing wrong with some '80s New Wave!

Unless you ask JP.

Wondering how it looks after wearing it

It's been slim pickings at the thrifties and fleabag stores lately so I did something I rarely do....went fishing in the bay for a fix.

Nice find, Dale. Now I'm jonesin. "When the rooster crows"

Thanks Greg and Bob.

I guess I shoulda just held out. Just now went out for a beer run and on a whim stopped at the thrifty down the street. Found this Regal for $1.

It needs cleaning up a little, but for a buck who's complaining.
I also found a DVD of Sky Captain for $2. Not a bad flick and I'll bet my boys will dig it. Heck, the girls might, too.

Dale,

The thrift stores just needed to know that you would go to the 'Bay if needed.

Glad to hear the drought was short lived.

Congrats,

Bob

Maybe you're right.......

I wish they'd turn up some sweet aloha shirts like the ones by you.

Nice ones Dale! I like the rooster. So Sky Captain is worth a watch?

I often have the same problem. Most charity shops here don't stock vintage/old stuff, only new and designer. I get a lot via EBay, but only seek out the bargains!

Thanks Eddie!

It's the same here, the thrift stores mainly have more modern offerings. Great if you're into labels, but no so great for vintage. There's a few here I get lucky at from time to time, but none are regular producers. The bay is, of course, a great and endless source, but even there the bargains are few and far between. I'm just not a $20+ tie kinda guy. Too much else I gotta pay for.

As for Sky Capt., I'd say if you have an interest in the 30s/40s version of "the future" you'd get a kick from it.

 

[Bamaboots]

Same here on the thrift stores and definitely no decent aloha shirts. Like that Regal, Dale. Second time I've seen a Blach's label pop up here.

 

[dh66]

Thanks Bama. Blach's was a fixture here from the turn of the last century til the late 80s. Quite a bit of their stuff turns up in the thrift stores.

All my charity shops seem to have is cast off Primark, how lucky you are

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

Hah! Oh there's plenty of that too.

A nice Linosair tie. I reckon it's pretty damn old, judging by the weave of the wool, and the very short length. It's also not a Linosair label I've got (I don't think). Either that, or it's a boy's tie - but there's no label to suggest that.
