When
talking about the popular skinny tie, most people associate the look with the
1960s. The skinny tie was made popular through pop icons like the Beatles
during the end of the 50s. Before the 50s ties usually measured 4.25 inches at
the widest point, which is much wider than an average skinny tie. The classic
vintage skinny tie from the late 50s measures between 2 and 2.5 inches in
width. Eventually, the skinny tie came out of style during the end of the 60s
and fashion designers slowly went with wider necktie cuts, however during the
80s they made a comeback. The materials used to make the skinny tie vary
widely. Some designers had solid colored black skinny ties made from leather,
while others carried ties that were knitted from cotton and even wool. Knitted
skinny ties usually had a flat tip. Even today knitted version of the skinny
tie are back in style although not for any formal or business
attire. Check out BookATailor.com for vintage skinny ties and stylish custom
