Could be alpaca as well.

+1. I had an older Sulka coat with very similar looking un-tagged fabric. I called it Alpaca.

These are the oldest BB ties I have ever seen. Probably from the 40s I would assume - anyone know the label era? The red one is also ancient madder

The little tag on mine you can sorta read (in person) says All Silk. Pretty sure mine is 1940s too -- pretty close to the dimensions of WWII US uniform ties.

Did BB do WWII uniform ties?

They certainly did uniforms and apparently still do:

The Arthur Rosenberg that I was looking for... Custom order from 1970. All the classic details throughout.. 42 L.

Arthur M. Rosenberg had a store which I remember in the 60s and or 70s in Manhattan in what I would call the "Ivy
District" in the east 40s off Madison near BB, J Press, Paul Stuart, Chipp. Tripler. I still have one of their (wide) ties
from the 70s .

Found this yesterday:

100% Cashmere Overcoat for Gimbels by Sandringham in really good shape (no holes). Extremely heavy. Someone posted a similar one earlier, I believe.

A neat completely unstructured glen plaid tweed sport coat/jacket. Roughly measures to be a 42 R.
