Handmade in Como.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eMost men own a drawer full of ties and still pause over which one to wear. Navy settles that. It sits under any jacket, works with the shirt you reach for most, and asks nothing of you on the morning you are already late. The one tie you stop thinking about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eNavy is foundational. It is the first tie a man should own and the last one he stops reaching for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eThe Weave\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eGrenadine 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 any suit. Only a handful of mills in Como still produce it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eGrenadine comes in two weights. \u003cem\u003eGarza fina\u003c\/em\u003e is the finer, tighter version, the one most people picture when they hear grenadine. It is the weave used in this tie. \u003cem\u003eGarza grossa\u003c\/em\u003e is more open, with larger holes and a more pronounced texture; we use it in our \u003ca href=\"\/en-ca\/products\/midnight-blue-grossa-grenadine\"\u003eGrossa Grenadine\u003c\/a\u003e line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eHow to Wear It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eNavy grenadine works against almost any suit a man owns. With charcoal, the tie anchors the outfit and stays out of the way. With navy, the texture provides the contrast that a smooth navy tie cannot. With grey, navy is the warmer alternative to black. With brown, it grounds the warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eFor pairing guidance across colour and occasion, read \u003ca href=\"\/en-ca\/blogs\/journal\/ties-for-a-navy-blue-suit\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eTies for a Navy Blue Suit\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/en-ca\/blogs\/journal\/ties-for-a-grey-suit-to-make-looking-polished-effortless\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eTies for a Grey Suit\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eConstruction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eOur grenadines are tipped. The silk tail is folded back at the end and a wool backing is sewn into the tip, giving it weight and a finished face. Some tie makers leave grenadines untipped, with the silk simply rolled at the end, which keeps the tip lighter. We chose tipped because it looks finished, both worn and laid flat, and because a substantial tip helps the four-in-hand knot sit cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eOther Grenadine Colours\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eNavy is the first of three foundational grenadines.
