Here is a selection of my Christmas tie collection. This is not the entire collection by any means, but apparently these are the ones I managed to wear to work during the season last year. I'm not sure if these genuinely qualify as "vintage" (given the name of this blog) as the majority of them were undoubtedly manufactured during the decade of the '90's. Is that vintage? It's 20 years ago, now. 

According to an online definition: "Furniture and small appliances tend to be considered vintage anywhere from 25 to 50 years old and beyond. The term vintage, however, is highly subjective. Vintage clothing, particularly couture styles, might be less than ten years old."

So, according to that definition, most of these ties could probably be described as "vintage," although these ties are hardly "couture!" The ties depicting snowmen could be of a more recent vintage. In that last sentence, the word "vintage" is merely used as a synonym for "age."

Merry Christmas, everyone!
