Some history of the Continental Tie follows:In America in the late 1950s the traditional boxy and bulky cuts of English suits gave way to the slimmer and more youthful Italian cut which became known as the Continental Look. To complement this new streamlined style of tuxedo, formal wear manufacturers introduced the Continental Tie, a wide strip of black satin fabric that crossed over at the throat where it was held together by a snap or decorative pin. This style was adopted and popularized during the 1960s by rockabilly and country western musicians like Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash and are still popular neckwear for Rockabilly or Western-themed formal attire. This style of bow tie is worn by Chester Cobblepot (Penguin) in the Television Series "Gotham" and is a favorite of English professional snooker player Judd Trump.Length: (fully adjustable to any size neck) extends to 27"Width at widest point: 2-1/8"Width at narrowest point: 7/8"Condition: Excellent unworn NOS (New Old Stock).[Item #NM2230] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Fine Print: In the spirit of recycling and reusing, we offer only authentic vintage items.
