30s Vintage Necktie Geometric Brocade Resilient Construction VFG
This is an earlier necktie, from when they were still referencing the construction on the tags. It is unlined, also a clue about era. The brocade weave alternates between satin surfaced dark maroon and zigzag dotted line weave done in cream and electric blue.
SIZE:
Widest point - 3.5" (9 cm)
Length - 50" (127 cm)
TAGS: Resilient Construction
CONDITION: I see two tiny snags about halfway between the tie tip and where the knot would sit - see closeup. No other issues noted.
I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.
For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.
For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.
Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.
The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.
If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
