Your most hideous vintage tie.

[Maj.Nick Danger]

I like it. The horse has a sweet face.

You're kidding?

 

[Maj.Nick Danger]

I like it too. [huh]

You're kidding too?
But ya know,...the tie does sort of grow on ya after getting used to the initial glare of the background color,....

 

[Feraud]

I like it and have a preference for equine emblazoned items.
Ties, cufflinks, tie clips, etc. are all my style.

 

[dhermann1]

Oh, boy. I can't wait to get home and snap a few of my doozies.
OK, enough with the chit chat. Let's see some more ugly ties!

Wow, another admirer. Maybe I should just auction this tie off to the highest bidder, stains and all?
It is 100 percent silk afterall, but the color scheme just doesn't match anything in my closet.

 

[ShortClara]

The lucky contestant that wins and gets to burn it, must first wear it for a full day,...in public.

You know, it's so ugly it's fabulous. If I were a man I'd so wear that tie! Demon horses - love it! Please don't burn it!

 

[BegintheBeguine]

Not kidding. Yes, more ties, please!

You're right. It sort of grows on ya after a while. It could make a stunning fashion statement if worn with the right shirt. I'm thinking lime green here.

 

[The Wingnut]

I'm surprised nobody's said it.

*clears throat, grabs trumpet, dons a huge smile*

Jeepers, creepers....whered ya get them peepers
Jeepers, creepers...whered ya get those eyes
Gosh oh, git up....howd they get so lit up
Gosh oh, gee oh....howd they get that size

Golly gee...when you turn them heaters on
Woe is me...got to put my cheaters on

Jeepers, creepers....whered ya get them peepers
Oh, those weepers....how they hypnotize

(instrumental break)

Jeepers, creepers....whered ya get them peepers
Oh, those weepers....how they hypnotize
Where did ya get those
Golly whered ya get those
Where did ya get them there eyes

And now ...



GIVE ME A WILD TIE, BROTHER! (1915)


Some men long
For the soothing touch
Of lavender, cream or mauve.
But the ties I wear
Must possess the glare
Of a red-hot kitchen stove.

The books I read
And the life I lead
Are sensible, sane and mild;
I just hate spats,
I wear clam hats,
But I want my neckties WILD!

Give me a wild tie, brother --
One with a cosmic urge;
A tie that will swear,
And rip and tear,
When it sees my old blue serge.

Some folks say
that a man's cravat
Should only be seen, not heard;
But I want a tie
That will make men cry,
And render their vision blurred!

I yearn, I long,
For a tie so strong
It will make two men to tie it.
If such there be,
Show it to me --
Whatever the price, I'll buy it!

Give me a wild tie, brother,
One with lots of sins;
A tie that will blaze
In a hectic haze,
Down where the vest begins.

[Maj.Nick Danger]

Well alright then,...you asked for it.

Not kidding. Yes, more ties, please!

Here's another example from deep within the dim recesses of my closet.
Granted it's not as shocking as the horse head tie, but I think it's repulsive in a subdued, utterly bland sort of way. The muted colors and odd pattern, (protozoa?) would most likely put viewers to sleep.
This, coupled with it's pristine condition, leads me to believe that, quite possibly, it was never worn.

That was Higbee's budget line of Paisleys. No, I kid. It does look like protozoa, with teeth in the middle No surprise, I like it. How's this, only if I don't like an offering will I say so. (Did I just promise to not post an opinion?!)

 

[Dinerman]

I love '30s and '40s floral ties, but somehow this one doesn't quite do it for me. Looks a little too '70s-ish in my opinion. Maybe with the right suit and hat...

 

[The Wingnut]

I know a guy that'll gladly wear it if you don't.

Someone was trying WAY too hard....

I should put a stamp on it and mail it to ya.

I'm starting to think that some companies used fabric remnants left over from window treatments or table cloths.

Snerk! You're not far off I'll bet!

I could actually see this one looking good worn by a gal in a man-tailored skirt suit. Bit much for a guy though.

Aw, I dunno, I thought this one was kinda cute until you made that protozoa comment. Now that's all I can see!

I have a really great comment about this tie, but it's not family friendly.
