Munrospun Mustard Tie

Description

Munrospun was established in 1880 as Munro and Company by William Munro to manufacture homespun tweeds, Shetland knitwear and fancy hosiery. The world-famous Argyle Sock was originated by Munrospun in 1895. The firm also pioneered knitted outerwear for women, using the finest woollen yarns, and Cashmere was first introduced by them in 1902. Around 1930 Munrospun began to produce ties, like this slim one from the 1950s in mustard yellow, woven in a soft wool that almost resembles Terylene. The tie measures 120cm x 9cm and has a barely visible bald patch to the rear, entirely obscured by the knot when worn.
