B.J. Ernst Multicolor Square End Tie

tie 200tie 201

Amazing colors on this one! Made by the square end expert Ernst.

Unfortunately, it’s far too wide, otherwise I would use it all the time.

6 cm is not narrow enough for a square end.

Bamberger's Silk Paisley Tie

tie 66tie 67

I’m a big fan of paisley patterns, and this one is really nice.

Unfortunately, the previous owner was a fan of this tie as well, so it’s been worn quite a lot. I have to be careful when I tie it, not to rip it even more around the knot area.

Sold by the now defunct department store chain Bamberger’s.

Narrow: 6 cm.

Ernst Brown Square End Tie

tie 204tie 205

Another simple but nice square end. Just wish it was a few millimeters narrower. Square ends should be really skinny.

Still, skinny enough: 4,9 mm.

Lytton's Golden Silk Tie

tie 186tie 187

It’s a bit wide, and the colors are a bit dull, going from moss green to gold.

But the flamelike pattern is kind of cool and makes it much more interesting.

Guessing it’s from the sixties.

Made by Lytton’s.

Narrow: 6,4 cm.

The Halle Bros Silk Tie

tie 57tie 58

A very beautiful tie, in my opinion. The colors and the geometric design make it really interesting.

But it’s at the same time a bit too nice, and too wide, so a rarely wear it.

From the Halle Bros Co in Cleveland, Ohio. 100% silk.

From the sixties, I guess, judging from the design as well as the Halle Bros logo — check out the photos on this site.

6,5 cm wide. (A lot of sellers would classify this as skinny. I don’t agree.)
