Pull the material side to side to see if you can see a mesh backing. If not, it might be fur.

Yeah they’re on a hide, so real fur

The tag means real loden from the Tyrol region of Austria. Made up of boiled wool which gives it both wind and water resistance. The fabric would have been used in "Trachten", or Austrian hunting/traditional costumes. S/O to the ebay buyer who schooled me on all of that recently.

Oh and I also bought these for my wife so N/A. @HansderHund @SpooPoker or anyone have a clue as to the lining? Doesn’t feel like acrylic so I’m guessing fur of some sort.

rabbit fur.

No clue about artist, but I like it a lot and it's framed well. Framing shop is in Philadelphia. Signature is pure scribble.

Not sure if kidding but I’ll take the bait...w those brands he could send them to someone I know and probably net $20+/ea if not more. Dude flips like 200-300 ties a week it’s bonkers. He’s on this forum but for the life of me I can’t recall his name...=(

I send all my thrift finds to @Brianpore. He regularly gets $50 - $80 for Charvet, Brioni, Kiton, T&A etc ties. He takes really great photos.
