Apache Wool Square End

tie 213tie 214

The Apache (Original) Cravat Feather Weight. Cool!

The rest of the label says: «All Wool - Hand Loomed. Apache Hand Loomed Product. Albuquerque, N. Mexico.»

Purchased at The Indian Arts of Taos and Scottsdale.

Very Skinny: 3,6 cm.

I purchased the tie from Dapper Dean at Etsy.com. From their description of this tie:

The gentleman who wears the tie:
Bobby Darin (May 14, 1936-December 20, 1973), born Walden Robert Perciville Cassotto, was a two-time Grammy award-winning American singer, Oscar-nominated actor and accomplished musician. Darin performed widely in a range of music genres, including pop, rock, jazz, folk and country. A man and tie of variety. Day time or night out, rock out or grovin, one tie.

Mr John Black and Green Silk Tie

One of my most elegant, classy and cool ties. I can really imagine a fifties mobster wearing this. Or Frank Sinatra. (Is there really a difference?)

Love the label!

Damon Crown Tie

tie 50tie 51tie 52

Classy. And that golden triangle beneath the crown is really nice too. Is it the emblem of some secret brotherhood?

Shop Label: Joseph’s San Antonio by Damon.

Says All Silk Warp. But another label beneath says: 65% rayon, 35% silk....

Almost skinny: 5,3 cm wide.

Unknown Brand for Bishop's

tie 20
tie 21

Ever since the eighties I’ve loved paisley patterns. This is one of the most discreet and classy ones I’ve seen. Beautiful.

Still, classy and beautiful ties like this don’t get that much use. I seldom move in circles where I need to show this kind of muted elegance.

Unfortunately.

Reasonably narrow: 6,3 cm.

Berkley Tie

tie 10
tie 12

A nice silk tie from Berkley. From the Fifties, I guess.
I love ties with shop labels. It gives the tie its history and origin.

5,5 cm wide. (Almost skinny - my definition of skinny tie: 5 cm (2 inches) or less.)

The Shop Label reads:
