Regimental tie, navy with orange stripes, three fold
We interline your regimental tie along its full length so that it keeps its shape. As in a jacket made by a tailor, the interlining is wool based. The lining of the wide blade and of the narrow blade finishes the piece cleanly.
Our striped silks are woven, not printed : the stripes are built into the cloth on jacquard looms in the Lake Como region of Italy, which gives the tie body, relief and depth of colour.
How do I knot my tie? Which knot should I go for?
It is the most interesting question, and the answer is yours to find. We can only give a few pointers.
Silk has some give, which makes it very pleasant in the hand and easy to knot.
We choose the four-in-hand. This silk is dense, so we advise against the double knot, the Windsor : it is a large knot by nature, it uses a lot of cloth and comes out thick, and in our view the two together look clumsy. The half Windsor, close to the four-in-hand, is an option.
The double knot, on the other hand, is perfect on a tie without interlining, ideally in printed silk : see our seven fold ties.
Good to know : for the proportions, wear your tie with a shirt whose collar spread is fairly wide or very wide. Prefer a collar band taller than 1 in (2.5 cm) as well, to show off the knot and the tie.
Bonus : the knot shows your creative side, the mood of the moment, the care and the passion you put into it.
How do I wear my tie in a more relaxed, natural way?
Once your tie is knotted, leave the narrow blade outside the wide one. Or let the narrow blade slip out as the knot forms, for a look that is racier and no less elegant.
What do I wear my regimental tie with?
A grey or blue suit, plain or chalk stripe, but above all enjoy yourself. Stripes ask for a plain shirt, white or light blue ; keep the suit plain too and the tie will do the talking.
