Tie of the Day No. 9
At first glance it’s just a standard conservative ’40s polka dot tie, but check out the palm tree brocade! Subtle, but very cool. Van Heusen

Color and Pattern Coordination
Blue striped suiting, gray felt hat with black band, black shoes, contrasting tie. Conservative 1930s attire.
A wild brown tweed like this calls for brown shoes and a brown hat. Both the shoes and the hat have good chunky proportions, going with the boldness of the tweed. The blue tie harmonizes with the blue overcheck. Keep the tie pattern small so that it does not compete with the tweed. A ’40s country look.
Blue houndstooth with a bit of reddish brown in it. Brown shoes. Brown hat, with a reddish band. Red tie. Early ’60s out and about.

Bossay Open Road fedora
This vintage fedora was made in the 1950s by the Bossay Hat Company of Pampa, Texas. It conforms closely to the lines of the Open Road or Stratoliner style, with fedora blocking and flanging, a thin ribbon with a western style bow and thin binding It is creased with a teardrop crown. There is a wind string and button. There are several stains to the felt, and the sweatband has hardened and has cracking. It is interesting to note that the sweatband is unreeed and has a taped rear sweatband seam, something which by the time frame this hat was made had largely been abandoned by the larger makers.
