- A blue silk tie with a repeat square pattern by Everett Hall. The woven blue silk fabric tie is cut on the bias and has soft varying stripes of darker and light shades of blue. The body of the tie is made from three panels of fabric seamed diagonally seamed together, lengthwise. The back of the tie is pressed together lengthwise with the proper left slightly overlapping the proper right. Two red tacking stitches - one towards the bottom of the tie and one at the top secure the tie's structure. The black interior fabric has a novelty weave pattern of floating diamonds. A black fabric label sewn to the center back bottom of the tie reads [EI / EVERETT HALL] in white block text. An additional black fabric tag at the narrow end of the tie states [FINISHED 100% ITALIAN SILK-SOIE] in white text.
