The tie is made of a silk-like material with a “photo image” landscape of haystacks during sunset. A tree with orange and red leaves in autumn is present above the hay stacks, and dark clouds are found towards the top of the tie. A circular logo in the silk-like material on the verso bottom has the text “INDIAN SUMMER / COLOR PHOTO” in white. The tie has been lined with a silky white material and a thicker woven white material. Black ink handwriting on the interior of one of the folds on the verso reads “TUCKER”.
