Bohemian Silk Tie

The Italians have been making ties like this for a century. A rich ground colour — burgundy, navy, forest green — scattered with a small repeating medallion in contrasting tones that catches the light as the silk moves. It is the tie that works in a boardroom and reads as considered rather than corporate, the one that a man in the next seat at dinner might quietly note and say nothing about until the right moment.

Woven silk with a smooth hand and a knot that holds its shape from the first Windsor to the last loosening at the end of the evening. Thirty-one colourways — from the classic burgundy shown here to navy, charcoal, olive, and beyond. The kind of range that means there is one for every suit in the rotation.

A well-chosen silk tie is the shortest distance between dressed and distinguished.
