I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A VINTAGE TIE AESTHETE... ABOVE I AM WEARING A 5 IN. WIDE BURGUNDY KNIT TIE CIRCA 1973. I LOVE 70'S TIES, ESPECIALLY THE DOUBLE-KNIT, DACRON POLYESTER ONES BECAUSE THEY KNOT SO WELL AND HOLD THEIR SHAPE MUCH BETTER THAN NATURAL FIBERS... THE OVAL "REPUSSE" PATTERN WENT SO WELL WITH THE ONE ON MY SHIRT I KNEW THEY WERE MADE TO BE WORN TOGETHER... ALTHOUGH NEARLY 30 YEARS LAY BETWEEN THEM...
BELOW ARE SOME STUNNING VINTAGE TIES THAT CAN ADD NEW VIBRANCY TO ANY MANS WARDROBE. PLEASE INQUIRE ABOUT THESE OR ANY OTHER APPAREL AT:

The average gentleman shops at the same stores every other man shops at. This can mean only one thing, look alike syndrome... What truly sets a gentleman apart from every other man is the uniqueness of his wardrobe. But in a modern market of mass produced fashion virtually everything that can be bought ready to wear is ubiquitous... generic...
Surely every man has the ability to give apparel a personal touch setting it apart from the next one but fine vintage clothing is one of a kind, you'll never see it on another man unless you are looking in a mirror...
Many vintage patterns are resurfacing today in virtually every designer collection. As quiet as it is kept as early on as the early 1990's fashion houses like Dolce and Gabbana and Kenneth Cole started copying simple men's clothing from the late 1950's to the early 1970's including the flat front, the peg leg the tailored blazer and shirt and narrower collar. When I first started seeing their clothing in fashion magazines I thought I was looking through the racks of a thrift store with exceptionally good vintage buys. These classics had already been made all they had to do was copy them and add a few personal touches updated fabrics etc. But it is so much nicer to have the one of a kind original than pay for a copy worn by hundreds of thousands of men. For a man of distinction vintage is the clear choice.
