1940’s Bow Tie

#ThrowbackThursdays
The bow tie alternated the necktie in the 1940s. It had lost popularity because it wasn’t bold enough compared to handpainted ties. They too, were made of rayon in medium-sized prints constructed with an adjustable neckband up to 16”. The ends were either square (butterfly) or diamond tipped predominantly in maroon, blue or brown colors. In the late ’40s, bow ties disappeared again except as part of work uniforms in wool, plain or cotton types.
