This 1970s vintage Wembley necktie features a striking brown, black, and lavender-purple diagonal stripe design with an intricate all-over geometric weave. The synthetic fabric has a distinctive stiff hand and textured, woven appearance, giving the tie a wonderfully dimensional look that is especially eye-catching up close.
The original Wembley label reads “For Brown, Olive or Black Suit,” a great period detail that reflects how ties were marketed and coordinated with menswear during the era. The combination of warm brown and black with unexpected lavender-purple stripes gives this tie a distinctly 1970s look, while its relatively broad 3-3/4" width makes a strong statement without being excessively wide.
Measurements: 52" long, 3-3/4" wide at the widest point, and 1-1/4" wide at the narrowest point.
A fantastic vintage accessory for anyone building a 1970s wardrobe, collecting vintage neckwear, or looking for an unusual statement tie with authentic period character. The tie is shown both flat and worn to give you a good idea of its colors, texture, proportions, and appearance when knotted.
