DescriptionMan's wool-blend tie, woven in black, white, red and blue plaid. The front tip ends in a broad point; the black tip is narrower. The tie is lined with black polyester. There are two labels on the back of the wider tip; a white label woven with black thread functions as a tie guard and reads: "G. FOX & CO./ HARTFORD" and sports a prone fox (the retailer's logo) woven in brown thread. A second label added during manufacture lists the fabric content: "35% Acrylic/ 35% Polyester/ 30% Wool/ RN 20547" and is stitched into the seam of the tie.
