This tie has two labels - one simply says BAUER (24 is on tonight!) - I'll go out on a limb and assume it AIN'T Eddie. The other says LUXIRA® - TREVIRA® 100% POLYESTER.
The problem with ties like this is the pattern ends up taking almost half of the tie, so I can't really make a nice 200x400 scan and capture the entire pattern, without ending up with a lot of space on the sides, as seen on the right. Of course, when the OTHER problem with scanning so much of a tie and then shrinking it down to the normal picture size (which was pretty much completely arbitrary selected one day) is you don't get a sense of all the fun TEXTURES possessed within a tie. Even the closeup doesn't really give you a sense of the fact that at least one (and possibly a variety of) machine(s) put way too much work into manufacturing this thing. And I'm SURE that *I* probably ended up spending like $1 on it because that's what I DO, MAN.
I'm taking tomorrow off so no more ties until Monday. But you can look at this one again later this week if you're pining!
This tie is unbelievably great. Just stunning. I am so jealous. The weird thing is while the pattern/layout looks all seventiesish the texture/way its sewed (at least the way from picture) more suggests like 30s but its polyester. I need to talk to someone who knows more about history of ties to better explain.
I can't figure out wether it needs to be worn on a Dacron or 100% cotton shirt to really bring out all of its striking features.
