Bamberger's Silk Paisley Tie
12-February-2012 Filed in: Ties
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.

A discrete but nice striped skinny silk tie, from Jac-Lin, Chicago.

A very nice silk tie by Oleg Cassini, with a cool graphic, striped pattern. That black end really does it.

Mr John Black and Green Silk Tie
17-September-2011 Filed in: Ties
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!
From Amberg’s, Niagara Falls, N.Y.
Narrow: 5,9 cm.

Handloom Silk Stripe Tie

This one is so rad! Why? Striped ties are nothing special?
Hard to say why, actually. But I think it’s the combination of the colors, the raw silk, and the perfect skinny width.
Anyways, I dig this. Plus, at the time of writing, this is my only tie from India.
Skinny: 5,2 cm.
Lytton's Golden Silk Tie
24-August-2011 Filed in: Ties
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
24-August-2011 Filed in: Ties
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.)
Hengerer's Black Silk Tie
24-August-2011 Filed in: Ties
A gorgeous black silk tie with white crests and blue ribbon.
Would be nice to wear at a wedding.
Probably made by an unknown brand for Hengerer’s in Buffalo. They closed over 20 years ago.
Fifties.
Narrow: 5,8 cm.
Unknown Brand Red Silk Tie
23-August-2011 Filed in: Ties
An interesting geometric pattern woven over a richly textured red weave.
Must be from the fifties.
Narrow. 5,7 cm wide.
Damon Crown Tie
23-August-2011 Filed in: Ties
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.
Berkley Tie
21-August-2011 Filed in: Ties
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:
