AHAT: Rooster Knit Ties.
We all know the name.
Any info?
I'm thinking of the slim, blunt-ended, knit ties of the 50s & 60's. Cool that you tie 'round your neck!

Re: AHAT: Rooster Knit Ties.
I'd be very interested too. Still in pruduction or discontinued?

Re: AHAT: Rooster Knit Ties.
I think they've gone off to Mod-heaven now.
Vintage MUST be available somewhere.

Last time I was in Bergdorfs, the Garrick Anderson shop had a wide array of Rooster-type neckties on display.

Dear Miles,
I've bought them from Press. Try giving Press in Cambridge a call. The last one I bought was a dark blue with greyish-white lines, spaced far apart. Will take pic. I'm sure they still have them.
Thank you, and Be of Good Cheer,
Horace

Re: AHAT: Rooster Knit Ties.
Sorry Miles, AHAT's first and hopefully only mistake. They're Rooster-style. But I think pretty close. I'll put up that pic. when I can and you can judge for yourself.

Re: AHAT: Rooster Knit Ties.
I think Press do the best knits at the moment. Any other contenders?
New & Lingwood have some good ones too... I've yet to investigate them.
How popular are knit ties in the U.S. in general? They're a bit niche in the U.K. & viewed as a casual item, not a 'proper' tie.
I love them. They were one of my first Ivy purchases way-back-when... I imagined they made me look like Horace Silver!
