Vintage 1940s Hand Painted in California men’s necktie swing tie Fashion Craft
This vintage tie was made in the 1940s by Fashion Craft Cravats and was sold by MacIntyre’s of Anaconda, Montana. It is hand painted, almost certainly in California, and was made using Resilient Construction. It looks as though it was intended to have been a knot planned model, as the back blade is a contrasting color, but the tie is constructed in such a way that it does not line up with the knot, regardless of the style of knot used. The tie measures 49″ long and 4-1/4″ wide.

Reindeer Jacket

I wish I knew more about this jacket. All I know is that it was made by a furrier in California. The cut is a bit unusual, with a square bottom and high button stance- and overall the detailing is unusual enough to make it difficult to date. The tag in it is of an old style, but that wouldn’t be uncommon for a furrier or custom tailor. And then there’s the fabric- it really stands out in a crowd. Reindeer and birds. Thick tapestry-type material. Again, very unusual and exotic. But I can’t put my finger on where it’s from. Nordic? South American? Like the Nudie Suit jacket, this isn’t one that comes out all that often, but when it does, it makes a statement.
