kipper ties
Broad seventies neckwear
Kipper ties are extremely wide neckties, typically four to five inches across at their widest point, that were fashionable in Britain during the late 1960s and 1970s.
Often featuring bold patterns, bright colors, or psychedelic designs, they epitomized the flamboyant menswear of that era.
The name playfully references the kipper, a broad flat smoked fish.
His grandfather's closet was full of kipper ties and polyester suits.
