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.

Awesome 60’s Retro Brown and Gold Necktie from Sage-Allen

This necktie certainly has a lot going on! There’s patterned stripes and a textured background with thin stripes going in the opposite direction. On top of that there are light green highlights in the stripes. It’s a lot to take in, but that’s why I like it! Daddy always said if you wear a tie, you should make a statement with it.

The tie is from the Sage-Allen Men’s Store, which was up in the Hartford, Connecticut area for 104 years before finally closing their doors in 1993. It’s 56 inches long and 3 1/4 inches wide and has no pulls or stains on it. It feels like polyester. The tag is loose on one side, but you’re welcome to tack it back on (I still can’t tread the needle with my paws!)

Vintage Striped Countess Mara

Daddy seems to always go for his striped Countess Mara ties when he’s not sure what to wear. This time it’s a brown, tan, and deep navy striped tie from Eddie Williams Man’s Shop in Arlington, Texas. The tie may date back to the 50s, but believe it or not, The Man’s Shop is still around!

Paisley Pure Silk Wembley Tie

Gosh darn it if Daddy didn’t find the box of ties I pulled out to post and decided to wear this one! That’s OK though, he didn’t stain it and I’ve already fetched it back to my storage box. I guess I’m going to have to bury his ties better!

"Pure Silk" Wembley Paisley Tie — “Pure Silk” Wembley Paisley Tie

This is a vintage brown Wembley “Pure Silk” tie and it has small maroon and light blue paisleys all over it. It looked pretty good with the blue window pane shirt my Daddy picked out, but I’ll bet you’ve got a better shirt for it!
