Product Information
Navy Grenadine Tie. Handmade in Como.
Navy is foundational. It is the first tie a man should own and the last one he stops reaching for.
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 any suit. Only a handful of mills in Como still produce it.
Grenadine comes in two weights. Garza fina is the finer, tighter version, the one most people picture when they hear grenadine. It is the weave used in this tie. Garza grossa is more open, with larger holes and a more pronounced texture; we use it in our Grossa Grenadine line.
How to Wear It
Navy grenadine works with every suit a man owns. With charcoal, the tie reads as the quiet anchor of the outfit. 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 is the cool grounding note.
For pairing guidance across colour and occasion, read Ties for a Navy Blue Suit and Ties for a Grey Suit.
Construction
Our 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. Many tie makers leave grenadines untipped, with the silk simply rolled at the end. That keeps the tip lighter but leaves it gauzy and slightly see-through. 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.
Part of the Aklasu Grenadine Collection. The navy grenadine is also the first tie in Set for Life, our three-tie foundation.

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.
