A fantastic vintage 1960s Rooster necktie in solid black, made of 100% wool with a distinctive woven texture and classic square end. This is a particularly nice example of the slim, minimalist ties that became fashionable during the mid-1960s, with a clean, straight-sided profile that does not taper wider toward the bottom. The square-ended construction and narrow proportions give it an unmistakably Mod-era look.
The tie measures approximately 53 inches long, 1 3/4 inches wide at its widest point, and just 1 inch wide at its narrowest point. The original Rooster label is present on the reverse. The label features the distinctive Rooster branding and is marked "ALL WOOL" on the label.
The proportions make this an excellent choice for authentic 1960s menswear, particularly with a slim-cut suit, narrow-lapel sport coat, or crisp white shirt. It would also make a great addition to a vintage menswear, Mod, Ivy League, or mid-century fashion collection.
I date this tie to approximately 1964-1968 based on its construction, proportions, square-end styling, Rooster labeling, and the popularity of narrow wool ties during the mid-1960s. As with most vintage garments and accessories, the exact manufacturing date cannot be confirmed.
A wonderfully versatile vintage black tie with a distinctly 1960s silhouette and the increasingly hard-to-find square-end design.
