Rendered in warm shades of rust brown, cream, taupe, and grey, the dramatic zig-zag and abstract linear motifs create an almost icy, architectural effect that is both visually dynamic and unmistakably period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe label reads \u003cb\u003eFine Arts Exclusive Neckwear Design by Tooke\u003c\/b\u003e, one of Canada's most respected menswear manufacturers during the twentieth century. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its 4-inch width and shorter 53-inch length, the tie exhibits the proportions typically associated with men's neckwear from the 1940s. It is a wonderful accessory for anyone seeking an authentic Swing Era look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth at widest point: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 53 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn very good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe patterned front fabric displays beautifully, and I do not observe any staining or significant issues to the visible surface. There is moisture staining to the lining fabric at both ends, as shown in the photographs. The staining does not appear to have migrated through to the front of the tie and would be concealed during wear. The tie remains attractive, highly presentable, and very wearable, with the condition issue reflected in the price. As always, professional dry cleaning may further improve its appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fabulous and increasingly difficult-to-find example of an authentic 1940s tie, perfect for completing a vintage Swing Era wardrobe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaker: Tooke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: Fine Arts Exclusive Neckwear Design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: 1940s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Canada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColours: Rust brown, cream, taupe and grey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePattern: Geometric \/ Art Deco-inspired abstract design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Not labelled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 53 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Very good condition with moisture staining to lining only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Poppy's Vintage Clothing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47710389076073,"sku":null,"price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/1559\/files\/Tooke-Fine-Arts-40s-Tie.jpg?v=1782048476","url":"https:\/\/www.poppysvintageclothing.com\/de\/products\/vintage-1940s-tooke-fine-arts-art-deco-tie","provider":"Poppy's Vintage Clothing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
