J. Garcia 'Homeboy' Silk Necktie (Collection Fifteen)
This is a vintage men's necktie from the J. Garcia art tie line, specifically identified by the inner tongue label as part of 'Collection Fifteen' entitled 'Homeboy'. The tie is constructed from high-quality 100% silk, featuring a dense, repeating geometric abstract pattern characteristic of Jerry Garcia's artwork. The color palette is dominated by mustard yellow and moss green, accented with pale blue and dark navy outlines. Structurally, it is a standard width tie with a pointed tip and a dark grey-brown silk tipping on the reverse side. The 'J. GARCIA' signature yellow and green woven label serves as the keeper loop on the back. Condition-wise, the fabric appears to be in very good vintage state with no visible stains, snags, or fraying on the edges. The silk retains its luster, though there is some light creasing from storage that would require professional pressing. This line of neckwear became culturally significant in the 1990s, translating the Grateful Dead frontman's digital and watercolor art into wearable fashion. The craftsmanship is evident in the precise alignment of the print and the substantial hand-feel of the silk weave.
