Vintage 40s Neck Tie Zigzag Geometric Underwater Bubbles Jacquard Wembley VFG
I love the colorway used for this 1940s necktie, and the quirky use of the vertical zigzag knobby print. I believe the fabric is rayon, and the jacquard weave is also quirky - it reminds me of an underwater scene with seaweed and bubbles! The primary color is pastel apricot, set off by the dark purple tie point and the rust red used for the wider zigzags. Black is also used to set off some of the elements.
SIZE:
Widest point - 3.75" (9.5 cm)

TAGS: Wembley, Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.
CONDITION: There is a small (1/4") spot on the lining near the bottom of the tie - see closeup. No sign of it on the front side, and 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.
