The Bow Tie Appears!

It’s time for another Tie Tuesday! Last week Daddy was boring (so boring it wasn’t even worth posting, and I didn’t take a picture of it) This week though Daddy made up for it by breaking out one of his bow ties!

There’s no manufacturer on this one, but I’m going to guess that it’s from the 1960s given the size and pattern. It’s a light blue background with a gold-brown square pattern and some very stylized square flowers. Of course, then he paired it with a light mauve dress shirt to really show off the colors. The black sport coat (not shown here) really made the colors stand 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!)

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