Striking Silver And Red 1940s Swing Tie By Lipman Wolfe & Co

1940s Blue Rayon Swing Tie – Lipman Wolfe & Co. – Bold Mid-Century Geometric Medallion Design

A superb example of late 1940s American swing-era neckwear, this striking blue rayon tie carries all the hallmarks of mid-century design. The piece features an eye-catching geometric medallion pattern in rich shades of red, ivory, and black, framed by a repeating linked motif running the length of the tie. The background is a soft steel-blue tone with subtle jacquard shading, giving depth and movement beneath the bold printed design.

Made for Lipman Wolfe & Co., a respected Portland department store known for quality menswear, this tie embodies the confident styling of the post-war years. Its wide swing silhouette, lively colour palette and dramatic placement print make it an excellent choice for vintage wearers, as well as costumiers sourcing authentic wardrobe pieces for film, stage, and television productions set in the 1940s and early 1950s.

Whether paired with a sharp American-cut double-breasted suit or used to dress a character in a period production, this tie brings an unmistakably mid-century look.
