Made from 100% cotton, this narrow vintage tie has the distinctive square end that became one of Rooster's signatures during the mid-century era.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRooster was an American neckwear company founded in 1957 and was known from its earliest years for square-ended ties featuring woven cotton and wool patterns. Rather than following the conservative conventions of traditional men's neckwear, Rooster embraced novelty, color, unusual patterns and youthful styling. Its square-end ties have become especially collectible examples of mid-century American men's fashion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis particular example is wonderfully understated while still having plenty of 1960s character. The deep navy ground provides a sophisticated backdrop for the orderly rows of tiny woven gold and sky blue squares. The slim 1¾-inch width and flat square tip give it an unmistakably youthful mid-century silhouette that looks terrific with a 1960s suit, sport coat, Ivy League-inspired tailoring, or modern vintage-inspired wardrobe.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe pattern is woven rather than printed, giving the surface a subtle textile texture and dimensionality that becomes especially apparent up close. The original Rooster label is present on the reverse.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLength: 53½ inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWidest point: 1¾ inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNarrowest point: 1 inch\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaterial: 100% cotton\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEra: 1960s\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStyle: Square-end \/ skinny necktie\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eColor: Dark navy blue with gold and sky blue woven geometric squares\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMade in USA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA great example of the distinctive Rooster aesthetic and a particularly wearable piece of 1960s men's fashion.
