Odd looking Bat Tie...HOLY WINDSOR KNOT, BATMAN!
Somebody sent me pictures of this tie and is looking for more info about it. Anybody of you detectives know anything about it?
To me, it looks like a specialty item for network execs when the show first came out, but I could be wrong.

Probably just one of the several variants from the Harvard Neckware Company as they used several Batman "logos". The red/maroon tie seen here has the exact same logo as the one you show.

Thanks! Brilliant!
One the backside of the tie it says it's 100% acetate. Had it been made for TV execs it would have been 100% silk, not cheapo acetate.
Great info!

Loving the turn around time between Wally's question- 3:08
and A.P.'s answer- 4:29.
some questions hang up here for days unanswered.
Less than an hour and a half.
I love this board.
Now I want one of those ties.

If I'm not mistaken they're boys ties-- I remember a tie rack retail display I saw in a catalog somewhere. These are definitely the ties though, I remember the logo placement.

I remember buying (bootleg?) versions of this tie on 8th Street in Greenwich Village in the mid-eighties, as I tried valiantly to inspire a 60s clothing revival...

A minor point but in the sixties (or at least in the UK) only men of considerable social standing would wear a full-Windsor knot. The average white-collar worker tied a half-Windsor and schoolboys used a four-in-hand.
Nowadays to see even a half-Windsor is a rarity.
