    Hi everyone! I'm trying to find information about this "rare" tie that I've come across recently.
    Never heard about Christey before and I couldn't find any kind of info about it (just an eBay listing of a 70s tie)

    Quadrant Arcade/Regent Street seems to be an upscale place (based on photos), I guess that those ties weren't cheap at that time!

    What do you think? 1950? 1960s? Did you hear before about this brand?

    Thanks for your time.
    Best regards,

    Can't really help with the tie, but can confirm that all the arcades off Regent Street are very very posh, at least today. Not sure about mid 20th Century. They tend to house small boutiques, so it's possible it was a small business/maker/tailor, catering to the very well-heeled, rather than a 'brand' as such.

    How long and wide is the tie? That information might help. It looks pretty skinny from your photo?

    Thanks for the info and the photo, Ruth. Loved it! The photo seems to be from 1961, right.

    Yes, it's quite skinny. 7,5 cm wide/3 inches.

    This is the picture of the listing I mentioned. It certainly looks more actual than mine. Maybe mine could be from the late 50s? Early 60s?
