This is the fourth in the series of photographs of vintage ties in my collection. If you missed the first three installments, I've previously posted
hand-painted, geometric and space age, and
novelty prints.This time out, I'm going to be featuring square-end ties from the collection that I think are unique. I have a few knits that are also square, but they're not quite as stand-out as the silk and wool numbers below.
I have an abundance of red ties and this one nearly kicks all their asses. Dazzling red with a sort of black and white teardrop embroidered pattern. Sharp.
Another tie with wicked reds, this one works with a ton of colors. Almost exactly the colors of The Ohio State University.
Okay, so this one isn't straight-up square, but close enough. My suspicions are that this tie is actually made out of a very old piece of fabric from the middle east due to the damask pattern, but I could be wrong. Either way, it's beautiful.
I picked this tie up a couple months ago and have worn it a couple times since. Depending on the outfit, it works with either cool or warm weather. 100% cotton and silk. Shiny and crisp.
You would think I'd get sick of red ties, but you'd be wrong. Plus, this one has a strange little embroidered design on it that really draws your attention and makes you wonder just what the heck it is. Rorschach tie.
This wool number just rocks with a blue oxford, as the thin stripes are almost the same exact color. More of a fall tie, this one feels perfect when the wind whips up and the leaves start turning.
The colors on this tie are some of the most beautifully understated of any tie in my entire collection. I just want to curl up in a blanket of the same color and hibernate.
This is the plus one I mentioned above and it's just a true oddity. The silk tie is nothing to be excited about, but it's embroidered with two separate colors (including a gold metal thread) and just has something about it that I can't deny.
