Silk Neck ties

After the World War II, men started taking interest in their fashion and as such ties were introduced in bold geometric designs mostly in silk and rayon fabrics. Ties of this time were being worn at up to a five inch width. In the 50’s ties started getting thin down and were called as Slim-Jim ties and some of these were no more as bootlaces.
