Vintage British Tootal Boy’s Ties x3 SL-TT15

Here we have three mid-20th Century rayon ties made by the legendary British brand Tootal. Please note, these ties are the range of ties that were made for boys and, as such, they are shorter than normal ties. They are best worn by those with small necks. Please check before buying the ties. The horse head and the green tie are 36.5 cm long, while the plain blue tie is 44 cm long, as it was made for their range of longer ties that were designed for older children. Tootal was one of the most notable British cotton and rayon manufacturers of the 20th Century. Their prolific scientists were responsible for developing and refining crease-resistant, colour-fast cottons and luxuriously soft rayon fabrics. The results of their endeavours were fabrics which offer high-quality products to the mass market. Tootal’s fabrics were exported worldwide and their patented processes for treating fibres were used under licence to produce fine fabrics. In the menswear world, Tootal’s ties, scarves and cravats dominated the marketplace due to their ability to resist creases and the ease with which they could be washed. In addition, Tootal didn’t just rely on its fabrics but also excelled in the colours and patterns they offered. Every colour and every imaginable design were available. Paisley patterns were a favourite, in particular their ‘art deco’ inspired reinterpretations of the style. There were polka-dots, stripes, abstract patterns, gothic swirls and solid colours. This range of colours and styles means Tootal offered a tie for every possible outfit. The result of the variety of colours and styles is a thriving collectors market for vintage Tootal products.
