In this season of political fervor, national crisis, pots with chickens but no gas to get them across the road, let us consider the Patriotic Motif necktie. I;m sorry to say I havent any Partisan type ties; the generic one style fits all will have to do, but of late, I admit I have been hoarding them. Here are a few for your consideration. As it happens, they are all currently available at my Ebay Store. There is an endless variety of these on the market place, and seemingly every commercial maker has jumped on the band wagon.
The below tie is one of my favorites, for the complexity of the design, and richness of colors. It's a Van Heusen 417 from their Americana Series entitled Let Freedom Ring...
Slighty more subtle is another Van Heusen, fantastic color and design featuring Hot Air Baloons - perhaps most apropos in a political year. How much more old-timey Americana can you get? It's called "The View from Above"
I love this tie - love the way the designer has created suggested movement on a flat medium with shading suggesting the flag blowing in a breeze. It's a poly tie, lightweight all-around
Another poly tie, straight-forward, no nonsense. Probably made in China or Korea
One of my current favorites, this inexplicable green background tie featuring the tiny American flag is a reversible tie by Wembley, called a "Double-Tie". It;s one of those heavy, thick, gawd-awful upholstery fabric ties that were made when polyester was first cheaply mined in the 1970s, riding the crest of the Bicentennial marketing wave.
Finally, here's a Tommy Hilfiger tie of the same ilk/
