A handsome late 1960s vintage Rooster "Heathernit" knit necktie in a rich eggplant purple that perfectly captures the sophisticated Mod styling of the era. Woven from a luxurious blend of 65% mohair and 35% wool, this textured square-end tie has a wonderful depth and soft hand that sets it apart from ordinary knit ties.
Its slightly wider 3-inch blade reflects the shift away from the ultra-skinny ties of the early 1960s while remaining distinctly pre-1970s in style. The deep purple color pairs beautifully with charcoal, camel, olive, navy, brown, and plaid sport coats, making it an excellent choice for vintage enthusiasts or anyone looking to add authentic late-1960s style to a modern wardrobe.
Made by Rooster under their Heathernit line.
