SR-71 Blackbird Silk Necktie

How stealth are you? Permanently retired in 1998, but still able to be drooled over in museums, we were fortunate to have seen a few in person, at the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum in New York City and the Hill AFB Museum in Utah, inspiring this to be re-drawn on a tie. The Blackbird aircraft cruised at speeds of more than Mach 3 and altitudes of over 85,000 feet. Blackbirds remain the fastest piloted jets ever built.

Choose from a variety of colorways - the "dark black pearl on black" (the closest you can get to a true black on black) is our personal favorite, barely detectable, just like the SR-71 itself! We have other options with greater contrast if you'd like to show more of the line work.

This print extends very high up on the tie, approx. 19" (46 cm) from the bottom point.
