Vintage Ties Get Their Groove on Etsy

by, Jared Zane Kessie

As an avid necktie wearer (at one point having close to 75 ties I consistently rotated for wearing) it is important for me to find a tie that suits my personality, positively accents the rest of my clothing and is unique in its appearance. I have found that my personal favorites are aged 100% polyester ties that have been searched out and unearthed from thrift stores, dating back to the 1960's and 70's.

It saddens my soul that as I now make my regular thrift store visits I rarely find a decent tie. This post goes out to all those business men with astounding fashion sense, the Mormon missionaries who I partially blame for the lack of decent ties in my local thrift stores, and to any church going fellow who knows that the key to winning a woman's heart is directly proportionate to the percentage of polyester found within his tie.

And so, for your convenience, I present the best vintage ties of the web! All of which came from a handful of Etsy shops. It is good to see Etsy catering to men's fashion, especially that of the neck adorning kind.
