1940s Vintage Royal Blue Pleated Necktie with Lion & Crest Design Rayon Crepe Tie Retro Menswear by Haband of Paterson New Jersey

Exceptional late 1940s vintage necktie by Haband of Paterson, New Jersey, featuring a striking royal blue crepe weave fabric with dramatic diagonal pleated detailing and a British club style heraldic lion and crest design. This tie is a wonderful example of postwar American menswear design, blending elegant tailoring details with bold novelty styling. The structured diagonal pleats create movement and texture across the blade, while the lion emblem and small red, white, and blue crest give the piece a sophisticated collegiate or heraldic character. The fabric appears to be rayon crepe or a rayon blend with a lightly textured slub weave typical of high-quality mid-century ties. The color is a rich deep cobalt or royal blue that pairs beautifully with tweed, charcoal, brown, or classic gray suiting. Labeled Haband, Paterson N.J., a well-known American neckwear maker associated with mid-century men’s fashion. The tie retains a distinctly late 1940s silhouette and styling. A fantastic piece for collectors of vintage menswear, ivy style, rockabilly fashion, swing era clothing, or classic mid-century tailoring. Condition is very good vintage condition with light age-appropriate wear. Please review all photos carefully for details and condition. Perfect for vintage formalwear, retro styling, special occasions, costume design, or display in a vintage tie collection.
