Post by Prof. Ed »

Where does one acquire a black tie , like the one worn by Indy under his famous jacket?

Your answer is on the following thread:

MBA was the good source, albeit very expensive. $40... But it looks like the tie is a standard issue military black tie. I would try your local surplus stores or uniform shops.

Or try eBay. I got one there for under $2.00, plus shipping. Looks great.

Hi all,

I found a tie at the local surplus store. They only had one that was not pretied or a clip on. It looks the same as what I wore in 1969 and 70 with my army uniform.
It was $4.00.
