I love patterns that have subtle texture - this one marries a classic dot medallion with a tiny grain of rice that changes direction. This allows the tie to reflect light and shadows in the most beautiful, ever-changing way. Not your ordinary pattern, this one I found in vintage textile archives and I had it woven in colors that are up to date and modern. Made in Italy Extra long length: Approx. 3.38" x 62.5". A classic tie width and length that is perfect for most men taller than 6'2". 100% silk jacquard: It is made on a special jacquard loom, using different colored yarn-dyed threads to create the woven pattern. Pure wool inner lining: Wool breathes, which helps to give your tie its body and shape for many, many years. 3-fold construction: Because we use a heavy weight silk for our ties, we find that any more than 3-fold construction results in a bulky tie, which in our opinion doesn't pass the elegance test. Self tipped: We tip our ties with the same fabric as the front. Not only is it a refined finishing touch, it keeps your tie from curling at the point, and your tie looks great when you move and the back side shows!
