California Avenue's Bargain Box charity shop is on a roll. After the fab thirties Erector Set they were selling the other week, the store is now offering a big collection of seemingly unworn vintage men's ties from the 1940's through 1960's. The cellphone pic I snapped does not do them justice. They are vibrant, over the top and utterly cool.
It's too bad they are being sold in Palo Alto, ground zero of tie-less culture. But guys, that means you have a chance to tap your inner Mad Man and get one before they run out! I got me two.
The ties are a mere ten dollars each. Many are silk and have labels saying "made in San Francisco." You just can't buy stuff like this new.
