Mancunian Teddy Bear With Broken Arm Tie

tie 39tie 40tie 41

What a find! This is one of my absolute favorites.

Terrific motif: A teddy bear with a broken arm in a sling, greeting you - or is he calling out for help or sympathy?

Eighties or nineties?

I wear this one all the time, even though it is rather wide: 7,6 cm.

This is a really beautiful tie, with a lovely, symmetric pattern.

With look great on a hip fifties rockabilly dude. Which I am not. Still like to wear it, though.

Narrow: 6,2 cm.

Bright Red Skinny Tie with Black Motif

tie 101tie 102

This one’s REALLY red. Because of the bright color it doesn’t get much wear, even though I really like the black swirly motif as well as the leather like fabric.

No label.

Skinny: 4,8 cm.

Unknown Brand Grey Op Art Fifties Skinny Tie

tie 172tie 173

Grey ties are a bit dull. So is this, even though the fabric is really nice and shiny, and the op-art styling is kind of interesting.

Silk or synthetic? Sometimes it’s really hard to tell...

Skinny. 5 cm.

Would be nice to wear at a wedding.

Unknown Brand Deep Blue Diamond Tie

tie 118tie 119

This one I really like. I have ben using it a lot.

The deep blue color. The elongated diamond shaped pattern. It’s just really cool.

And very close to being a true skinny tie. (My criteria: 5 cm wide or less.)

This is 5,2 cm wide, but the long narrow diamond shape makes it appear narrower.

Too bad there is no label on it.

Wembley Golden Tie

tie 178tie 179tie 180

A really cool tie from Wembley. The geometric design must be from the futuristic, atomic fifties.

And being a Wembley, it comes with instructions!

Lytton's Shiny Geometric Tie

tie 135tie 136

Shiny and with a really nice, geometric design. Almost op-art.

That futuristic circle makes me guess it’s from the fifties.

I really like this. But the shiny gold/blue fabric is impossible to capture in a photo.

6 cm wide.

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.

Wembley Texture Tie

tie 44tie 45tie 46

Love the texture on this! Is it supposed to be wood? Beautiful.

In addition, it has an interesting motif.

And Wembley always tells you which color suit to wear it with. Cool!

(Though, personally, I wouldn’t mind wearing this with a blue suit.)

5,7 cm wide.

A well designed tie. But a bit too formal and conservative for my taste. Nice condition.
