Details to Look for When Buying Vintage Neckties

[Retro Spectator]

I already know to look for length, as all (I could be wrong) vintage ties are shorter than modern ties. But are there any other things, besides length, to tell for sure if a tie is vintage?

Thickness. Or rather, lack of thickness.

I was wondering, are there specific brands to look for too?

You might search the "show us your ties" thread (both for text and pictures) because you will find all the info you need about dimensions, common labeling practices, fabric, brands, etc.
