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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the garza fina weight, the finer and tighter of the two weaves.
