Silk Necktie Sample Cards Collection Britain

1970s · 1960s · British

A collection of rectangular sample cards displaying small diamond-shaped swatches of woven silk fabrics intended for necktie production. Each card contains two triangular samples showing different colorways and patterns, including geometric designs, small-scale florals, and abstract motifs typical of mid-century menswear. The samples demonstrate various weaving techniques from simple twills to complex jacquards, with colors ranging from traditional burgundy and navy to more vibrant purples and reds. The systematic presentation on white cards with printed information reflects the commercial textile industry's approach to pattern books during the 1960s-70s British fashion trade.
