The Solstice

Inspired by winter evenings and the quiet shift that follows the fading of light, the Solstice Tie reflects the depth and stillness of the colder months. Its name comes from the winter solstice, the shortest day and the longest night.

The Solstice tie began with an idea from our long time customer, Bobby Morelli. He approached us with a clear vision for a darker seasonal tie, one with weight, texture, and character suited to the colder months. We collaborated closely to refine the fabric, scale, and tone until the balance felt exactly right.

Woven from a substantial wool and silk blend, the tie carries structure without stiffness. This tie features a red contrasting tension thread. The tension thread is a loose silk thread that runs through the entirety of the tie. It allows the tie to retain its shape after each wear.

The dark blue ground is overlaid with a black glen plaid pattern, subtle at a distance and richly dimensional up close. The deep navy base and darker plaid work together to create presence without excess.

The fabric drapes naturally and forms a confident knot, particularly suited to autumn and winter tailoring. Paired with charcoal, navy, or textured flannel suiting, Solstice adds depth rather than brightness.
