The Marshall

Q: What knot works best?

Our motto is: keep it simple. The four-in-hand knot is our go-to recommendation. It’s elegant, easy to tie, and works with every Aklasu tie. Its slightly asymmetrical shape adds character without drawing attention away from the rest of your outfit. If you want one knot that works in both professional and social settings, this is it. We put together five core principles that you should follow so that your tie complements and never upstages you. Read our tie etiquette guide.

Teal floral foulard in printed silk, woven in Como. A repeating motif of small flowers in olive, blue and ivory sits across a deep teal ground. Printed silk with the discipline of a foundation piece and the personality of a refined one.

The teal works as a quieter alternative to navy. Against grey, charcoal, mid-blue or brown tailoring, the pattern reads as colour first, motif second.

Three-fold, wool-interlined. Handmade in Italy.

Why we called it The Marshall

Marshall came to us asking for teal. After twenty-one years of wearing a suit every day, and a tie collection past three hundred pieces, the colour was the one most big-box brands avoided. Small-batch houses, he had learned, were the only way to keep a wardrobe from settling into the mundane.

His foundation was long since built. The next phase of his career called for additions of a more specific kind.

We don't invent ties looking for buyers. We make what our customers ask for. The Marshall is a small run.

Ideal Width

Balanced proportions for modern business and formal looks, ensuring versatility for every wardrobe.

100% Como Silk

Luxuriously soft and naturally lustrous, our silk is woven in Como, Italy, renowned for producing the world’s finest fabrics. Its rich texture and subtle sheen elevate every outfit with timeless refinement.

Wool Interlining

Natural wool interlining gives each tie a full, balanced feel. It helps your knots form perfectly, resists wrinkles throughout the day, and ensures your tie drapes with confidence every time you wear it.

Slip-Stitch

A hidden thread runs the full length of the tie, allowing it to move naturally as you wear it. This subtle detail preserves the tie’s shape, ensuring it always looks refined and aligned.

Bar Tack

A strong hand-sewn stitch at each end of the tie reinforces the slip stitch, adding durability where it matters most. This traditional detail ensures your tie keeps its form and looks impeccable wear after wear.

Self-Loop Keeper

Handstitched from the same fine silk as the tie, never a cheaper substitute. While many manufacturers cut corners here, ours ensures harmony, strength, and a polished finish that stands the test of time.

Timeless craftsmanship. Effortless confidence. That’s Aklasu.

How do I know which tie size is right for me?

To keep proportions balanced, your lapel should be at least the width of your tie.

Our standard width, 3¼ inches, is ideal for most men and suits, offering timeless balance and versatility. If you’re over six feet tall, we recommend our extra-long ties, which measure 63 inches in length and 3½ inches in width.

For specific needs, we offer made-to-order sizing, typically completed within 4–6 weeks, depending on the tie.

What knot works best?

Our motto is: keep it simple. The four-in-hand knot is our go-to recommendation. It’s elegant, easy to tie, and works with every Aklasu tie. Its slightly asymmetrical shape adds character without drawing attention away from the rest of your outfit. If you want one knot that works in both professional and social settings, this is it.

We put together five core principles that you should follow so that your tie complements and never upstages you. Read our tie etiquette guide.

What should I do to take care of my tie?

You may not want to undo the perfect knot you tied this morning, but leaving the knot in a tie harms the silk fibres. Rolling your tie relaxes the creases and folds from the knot so your tie can go back to its original shape. Put your tie away at the end of the day by rolling it up to avoid creating any permanent impressions that you definitely don't want.

To roll your tie:

Lay it on a flat surface.
Fold it in half and tuck the tail into the keeper.
Then roll it from the folded end.
Place it in a canister and put it away for another day.

How do you package your ties?

Every tie arrives in the Aklasu Tie Canister™, designed to protect your tie and add a touch of refinement. The canister’s viewing window lets you see which tie is inside without removing the lid, making storage simple and presentation memorable.

It’s more than packaging. The Aklasu Tie Canister™ is meant to live in your wardrobe, keeping your ties organized, protected, and ready whenever you need them.
