Item Overview
Chipp New York New Haven, an iconic staple of mid-century Ivy League and Trad menswear. Chipp was legendary for its tongue-in-cheek "Conversation Pieces" collection—novelty ties designed with subtle, sophisticated, or outright humorous motifs.
This specific tie features an all-over embroidered pattern of international currency symbols, including the British Pound (£), Japanese Yen (¥), German Deutschmark (DM), and French Franc (FF). It is the perfect cheeky accessory for Wall Street professionals, collectors of vintage Ivy style, or anyone who appreciates classic menswear with a dash of humor.
Unlike traditional silk, this tie is crafted from Terylene twill, a durable, high-quality vintage synthetic fiber that gives the tie an excellent structure, holds a fantastic knot, and resists wrinkling.
