Vintage Brown and Tan Abstract 1930s Swing Tie

Sometimes digging through Daddy’s closet really pays off! Like this vintage swing tie I found hidden way in the back! It’s a swanky brown tie with a n abstract pattern of three tan and orange polka dotted rays on it. The tie fabric is a plaid textured silk, so if you like abstract, plain, or polka dotted ties, this one fits the bill!

The tie is from Henry Morgan & Co in Montreal, Canada. The only other tie I could find online from that department store was one from Harry Truman’s personal collection. This one may not have quite the same provenance, but it’s still neat in my book.


The tie is 52 inches long and about 3 1/2 inches wide. There are no pulls or holes on the tie, and the tie’s lining is yellowed and lightly stained from years of use, but there were no stains that I could sniff out.

If you like it, it’s available at my Etsy store: Rusty’s Tie Club
