Apollo Soyuz rocket necktie. Men's silk tie. A second in our Rocket Science line: Apollo–Soyuz Test Project. (Eksperimantalniy polyot Soyuz-Apollon). A symbolic end to the cold war space race, the US and Soviet ships docked for the first time, July 17, 1975. We've come upon an incredible repository of vintage declassified documents, this one combines fragments from a Soviet press release on the historic project.
We're proud to announce that this very tie (in white on navy blue) was presented in Moscow on April 1 for the 50th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's spaceflight. General Tom Stafford met with the two Russian cosmonauts that he and his Apollo crew docked with on the historic Apollo-Soyuz mission in 1975. (This tie was also presented to the Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.)

► 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!
