A Taylor Ltd.

American, founded 1954
In 1960, the label "Taylor Ltd." primarily referred to Wm. A. Taylor Ltd., a New York-based manufacturer of high-end men's neckwear. Taylor Ltd. was a luxury operation known for hand-sewn construction and imported fabrics. Founded in 1954 by Bill Taylor and partner Joseph Dunlop, the company's product line focused on imported silks, English prints, and luxury haberdashery. These ties were reportedly worn by U.S. Presidents during inaugural addresses in the mid-20th century.
