Striking 1940s Swing Tie
Vintage 1940s Swing Tie – Washington Shirt Co.
A vibrant example of 1940s swing-era styling, this rayon tie features a playful repeating motif of circular fan-like forms in bold shades of yellow and red, set against a rich navy ground. The smooth rayon fabric has a soft sheen typical of mid-century ties, adding depth to the lively pattern. This is a wonderfully characterful piece, emblematic of the exuberant oversized designs worn with wide-lapel jackets and zoot-influenced tailoring of the period. An excellent choice for collectors, mid-century enthusiasts, and costume departments seeking authentic 1940s detailing for film, theatre, or television.
Finished with its original woven Washington Shirt Co., Stores for Men label.
