hi everyone!
Today's modern neckties are attributed to Jesse Langsdorf who patented the all-weather wrinkle-free tie in 1920. After World War II men began to take an interest in their fashion. Ties were width. In the 50's ties started to thin down somewhat and were called Slim-Jim ties by some, with some of these being nothing more than bootlaces worn as ties. In the 60's the tie became again wider sometimes seen in widths of 5 or 6 inches and in psychedelic designs.
Custom silk neck ties are very popular. There are numerous companies here in the United States and in fabrics and linings and each and every tie is handmade. Did you know that the lining of the tie can affect it's weight and the size knot it will make? I didn't, but don't worry. These high end tie manufacturers will suggest the proper lining to be used.
Today there are many designer ties to choose from in have silk neck ties in their collections. These ties can run anywhere from $75.00 to $150.00. You can find many good deals on these types of ties doing an online search.
I see you have a photo of my hand dyed silk ties on your website. They are $45 to $65. See more artistically hand painted ties at www.silkfromthehartz.com I also dye custom and matching silk ties and scarves for gifts and weddings.
