J. Garcia 'South Of The Border' Collector's Edition Silk Necktie

This is a vintage men's necktie featuring the artwork of Jerry Garcia, the Grateful Dead frontman. The tie is titled 'South Of The Border' and is part of the 'Collector's Edition' series. It possesses a vibrant, abstract expressionist pattern with various shades of blue ranging from cobalt to light powder blue, accented with white brushstroke-like elements. Constructed from high-quality 100% silk, the fabric has a characteristic lustrous sheen and a smooth, fluid hand-feel. A primary distinguishing feature is the black tipped lining at the wide end, which displays a large, embroidered orange handprint icon—Garcia's signature motif—representing his missing partial finger. Multiple labels are present: a black 'J. Garcia' brand label with red script, and a specific identifier label stating 'South Of The Border' and 'Collector's Edition'. The stitching appears neat and consistent, typical of the licensed production runs from the 1990s. The condition appears to be excellent vintage quality with no visible snags, stains, or fraying. The colors remain bold and the labels are securely attached with no signs of significant wear or fading.
