Skinny Ties Come in Interesting Shapes and Sizes
Whereas most standard neckties are 3 ¼ to 4 inches wide, the skinny ones are at most 3 inches wide. The measurement is taken at the widest point by the tip, from corner to corner. Some variations of these narrow accessories come in more interesting shapes and sizes. One inch neckties offer a radical look. Square end skinny neckwear has been around for over 100 years and continues to be part of more formal dress and skinny shaped neckties have fun novelty themes meant to look weird, wacky and downright funny.
Most skinny ties taper outward until they reach the tip, as do normal width neckties. At the very extreme, 1 inch skinny neckties don’t taper at all. They are one inch wide from tip to tip. Super skinny neckwear first appeared at the beginning of the 20th century. They measured as thin as 1 ½ inches and were appropriately referred to as “string ties”. The thinnest of them reappeared in the early sixties, when they reached the minimum width of one inch. The label on one such accessory read “Splinter”. Most people are used to seeing and more comfortable wearing neckwear which actually tapers a bit and this begins to be more noticeable at 1 ½ inch inches.
Square end ties are exactly what the name implies: square at both ends. No tips. They are also known as “square bottom” and “flat bottom” neckties. Such neckwear was also introduced at the turn of the 20th century and ranged in width from 2 to 2 ½ inches. They were again manufactured in the 1950′s and 1960′s at similar widths. By the mid 60′s and into the 70′s they grew over 3 inches. Many were four inches wide. Their width shrunk back to the around 2 inches as they continue to be made today. Most all square end neckwear does not taper. They are the same width from the knot to the very end.
The most fascinating narrow ties have a novelty theme. Back in 1986 the Ralph Marlin Company had its start as a manufacturer of neckwear. Their first collection was all fish shaped. The neckties were rounded at the ends to mimic the shape of fish heads. They really grabbed the attention and were the topic of conversations at social gatherings.
Today you can find a wonderful selection of skinny shaped neckties. Basically they follow the outlines of the things they represent: Beer bottle and wine bottle shaped neckwear is popular. Stethoscope shaped ties are perfect for doctors. They can help ease anxious patients at stressful times as well as bring about a smile to people’s faces. The dolphin and parrot shaped ones end at a point. Many guitar shaped neckties are rounded and are great conversation starters. There is something out there for everyone.
Narrow neckwear comes in a lot of fun shapes and sizes. Best of all, there is a nice selection available for a variety of occasions. Some thin neckties are ideal for in and out of the office. Some are best worn at formal gatherings and others are most appropriate for fun social events. If you love skinny neckwear, both new and vintage, and are looking to expand your collection, the possibilities are endless. You can find many unique ones when searching online for “square end”, “vintage novelty”, and “vintage skinny ties”.
