40s Necktie Brown & Cream Vintage Autumn Wheat Spidery Floral Print VFG Selected Fabrics Resilient Construction
This vintage necktie most likely dates to the early 1940s, before the extra-wide bellywarmer ties became so popular. I love the colorway, primarily cream and chestnut brown, with accents of soft peach and dark red. The fabric is most likely rayon, with a large scale geometric woven jacquard pattern that is more matte satin than twill weave. The print makes me think of autumn, with wheat stalks, and spidery flowers that might be asters or mums, along with a large area that suggests stylized trellises or espalier.

CONDITION: No stains, holes, or 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.
