Product Information

Overview

Enhance your style with this luxurious Grey Shantung Tie. Its neutral color seamlessly complements contemporary suits, adding a sophisticated touch to your look. Perfect for professional settings or special occasions, this tie ensures you appear polished and refined. Ideal for the discerning individual, it brings timeless elegance to any ensemble.

Shantung ties are uniquely beautiful due to their slightly irregular appearance. Shantung silk is less processed and rawer than the silk used in most ties. The less processed silk yarn creates ridges within the fabric known as slubs, distributed randomly within the fabric. The randomness of the slubs means that no two ties are the same. As a result, a Shantung tie is a highly regarded piece for any discerning gentleman's wardrobe.

The Canister

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.

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.
