This handsome late 1960s vintage necktie features a timeless repp stripe design woven in lustrous all silk. Broad pink stripes alternate with medium gray in a sophisticated color combination that perfectly captures the "Peacock Revolution" era, when classic Ivy League style embraced bolder colors while retaining traditional tailoring.
The tie is woven from fine all-silk twill with a beautiful soft sheen and is finished with contrasting golden-yellow silk tipping. Measuring 3-1/4 inches at its widest point, it represents the transitional width popular in the late 1960s, bridging the narrow Mod styles of the early decade and the extra-wide disco ties that followed.
Whether paired with a charcoal, gray, navy, or light plaid suit, this tie makes an outstanding statement piece for vintage enthusiasts, Ivy League style, Mad Men-inspired wardrobes, or anyone who appreciates classic American menswear. It also works beautifully for weddings, special occasions, or everyday vintage style.
Measurements:
54 inches long
3-1/4 inches wide at the widest point
1-1/8 inches wide at the narrow end
No maker's label is present, but the remaining "All Silk" WPL label confirms the silk content. Dating is based on the tie's construction, width, and styling, placing it circa 1968 to 1970.
Condition is very good vintage. The tie retains excellent color and presents beautifully. There are a few tiny scattered specks and faint signs of age visible upon close inspection, but nothing that detracts from its appearance when worn. Please review the photographs as they are part of the description.
