The Details

The vast majority of our woven tie silks are crafted exclusively for us in England to our precise and demanding specifications.

This fine open-weave, end-on-end silk neckwear originated in Cheshire, England in the 19th Century.

Made entirely by hand in England, our woven grenadine silk is the original and only true large knot grenadine.

Our finest quality woven cashmere ties, with that unmistakable supple softness of touch and the rich yet vivid colour, are the height of understatement.

Our wool challis ties are the perfect accompaniment to Autumn’s tailored wardrobe and one of the true markers of English style.

Our new collection of multi coloured geometric patterns are printed by hand in England as you’d expect, but in a new 22oz ‘spun and net’ silk, reminiscent of 1930’s style.

The printing of authentic Real Ancient Madder silk is not a lost art, we're feeling just fine, thank you. And we invite you to discover this sophisticated sartorial secret.

Our 50oz royal silk twill tie is indeed the monarch of foulards. Hand screen printed in England, our foulard silk is known for its ability to absorb and reproduce dye tinctures in crisp, clear colours to an unparalleled degree.

‘We have long considered solid silk neckwear a timeless essential of a gentleman’s wardrobe. Decidedly unfussy, easy to wear, perfect for travel, always correct and elegant. You can’t say better than that.’

We think our 7 cm neckwear is rather special. We didn't just narrow the pattern, we've re-balanced the tie so the knot is neither too large nor too small.

There are knitted ties and knitted ties. Ours start with first quality raw silk, spun, dyed, and finished in Switzerland in a way that assures the crunchy handle and Cri de la Soie (the crunch of the silk when squeezed) for which our knits are famous.

You can’t say we don’t listen. Several of our customers have been hounding us for longer length ties. We agree of course that nothing looks worse than a short tie:

You can’t say we don’t listen. Several of our customers were hounding us for longer length ties and now due to the success of the longer length we have now created a shorter length range, new for this season.

It’s funny, isn’t it, the way bow ties have taken young men’s fancy. There is a rather knowing jauntiness that seems to both compliment casual sports jackets as well as winningly contrast with more formal suits. We prefer the vintage batwing shape in silk for the perfect bow.
