By observing and comparing fabric and finish of high end brands to the cheaper versions, I've got the confidence to pick up items with missing or unfamiliar labels. <br /><br />This process works best 'in the flesh' so to speak, so it's pretty hard to say which tie is quality without feeling the fabric. If I had to pick I'd say the kelly green looks slightly more substantial, so that would be my guess for the venerated brand.Northmoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15597456926736581361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-40684908386355494732013-06-25T22:58:30.414-07:002013-06-25T22:58:30.414-07:00Dark green: J Press, mid 70's.

One more thing: Lands End wouldn't use a tag with that stylized "S". Can't identify the source of the dark green tie, though.James Redhousenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-12080325313293088712013-06-24T17:49:28.518-07:002013-06-24T17:49:28.518-07:00I think the dark green tie is a Lands End tie and ...I think the dark green tie is a Lands End tie and the brighter kelly green tie is a Stafford brand tie.<br /><br />Back in the day(1980's), J.C.
