What our customers are saying
Product Information
Navy makes the first impression. Burgundy is for the second time, when you want to read as warm rather than careful. It carries the same restraint, a shade more personal, right for the return interview, the second date, the evening you want to feel inviting rather than safe.
The Weave
Grenadine is a leno weave: two warp threads twist around each weft as it passes, locking it in place. The result is an open, porous fabric with structure and air. It holds a four-in-hand knot crisply and reads as texture, not pattern, against a suit. Only a handful of mills in Como still weave it. In burgundy the open weave matters, it keeps the colour from going flat, so the tie reads as depth rather than a solid block of red.
This is the garza fina weight, the finer and tighter of the two weaves. The same burgundy comes heavier and more open in garza grossa, as the Deep Burgundy Grossa Grenadine.
How to Wear It
Burgundy sits against navy and grey the way navy sits against charcoal. With a navy suit it is the warm note that keeps the outfit from reading as a uniform. With grey it lifts the whole thing without shouting. With charcoal it is quiet and confident. It is a colour that reads considered rather than corporate, which is why it works after hours as well as it does in the room.
For pairing guidance across colour and occasion, read Ties for a Navy Blue Suit and Ties for a Grey Suit.
Construction
100% silk with a wool interlining, which gives the knot its dimple and keeps the tie from creasing through a long day. Tipped: the silk tail is folded back at the end and a wool backing is sewn into the tip, so it has weight and a finished face laid flat as well as worn. Cut, sewn and finished by hand in Como by Italian artisans who have been doing it for generations.
Other Grenadine Colours
Buy this one third. The Navy Grenadine Tie and the Black Grenadine Tie cover more ground, and burgundy is what you add when a dark suit needs warmth rather than more depth. The Charcoal Grenadine Tie sits alongside those two. This same burgundy also comes heavier, in garza grossa, as the Deep Burgundy Grossa Grenadine. The rest of the range is in the grenadine ties collection.

The Make
3¼″ at the blade. The proportion that holds against both a notch lapel and a spread collar, full enough to anchor a sport coat without dominating a suit.
Woven in Como on traditional jacquard looms.
An open weave silk made on antique looms in Como. More depth than plain silk, more discretion than a printed pattern. The cloth that dresses up and down.
A wool core inside the silk, slip-stitched along the length. Gives the knot body, the blade weight, and lets the tie release its creases overnight.
A single thread, gathered loosely along the length of the tie. The reason a well-made tie can be tugged, knotted, and untied for years and still return to its shape.
A hand-sewn anchor at each end of the slip stitch. Small, structural, and the reason the tie does not slowly come undone along its length.
Cut from the same silk as the face of the tie. The blade is held by the cloth it was made for.
With a clear window, so the tie is found at a glance, kept wrinkle-free, and shielded from dust, moisture, and the wear of travel. Made to keep. Made to give.
