30s Wide Neck Tie Vintage Feather Pattern Brocade Salmon Blue Cream
This looks like an early necktie, probably 1930s, being relatively short and unlined. I think the woven pattern of the brocade used to make it is just gorgeous - overlapping feathers in salmon with electric blue and cream.
SIZE:
Widest point - 4" (10 cm)
Length - 48.5" (123 cm)
TAGS: No tags
CONDITION: I found a pinhole in the fabric about 5" above the bottom tip - see closeup. When I look at the back of the tie tip, I see faint shadows of probable previous staining, but they nearly invisible from the front - see best closeup I was able to get.. And a 1/4" edge of the very tip has escaped its hemming - see second closeup. No other issues noted. Price reflects condition.
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.
