Circuit Board tie. Short Circuit necktie. We're super excited to bring you a limited run of ties printed from real vintage circuit board patterns. No fake Photoshopped circuit "bored" here. (ha!) We literally found a truckload of really REALLY interesting vintage screens, all covered with schematics from the 60's, 70's and 80's before parts became overly micronized, we just couldn't resist the serendipity any longer, considering our fascination with electronics history. The universe made us do it!

Shown in photos: antique brass printing ink on emerald; black, olive, sage and celery. Hand-printed in our Detroit studio. Choose from our popular menu items, or customize to the color of your wildest dreams for just a little bit more. For inspiration, see later photos in the gallery of how our clients have customized!

►THE MAKING OF:

We sleuthed the provenance of this vintage screen to the best of our knowledge. It appears these were for small CRT displays/control monitors in the mid-80's. When fabricating actual circuit boards, silkscreens are used to print etch-resistant inks on to the board to protect the copper foil. Subsequent etching removes the unwanted copper and one is left with the desired copper pattern for conductivity.

LIMITED EDITION! As is the nature of vintage screens, once these screens die, that's it. (Not knowing the emulsion it was made with, they might hold up for a week, they might last for years!)

► COLOR COMBINATIONS
As a general rule, dark inks go best with light ties and light inks play well with dark ties. Light with light and dark with dark can be subtle at best and invisible at worst, we'll contact you if it's a definite no-go. If you have any questions about whether or not your combination will work, contact us before you order!
