Length: 148 cm
Width: 8.5 cm
Material: 60% Silk, 40% Cotton
Color: Light blue with small brown floral pattern

Sixty-forty silk and cotton: a blend that removes formal shininess to add a dry and matte texture. On the light blue background, the small brown floral pattern creates a contrast that is noticed from half a meter away, not before. Made as a 3-fold tie, the EARL is the tie for those who know that classic rules exist to be bent to their own rhythm, perfect for lightening the weight of the mid-season.

Style and Pairing Advice

• Client lunch: The light blue and brown of the pattern dictate the rules of the separates, maintaining authority while removing rigidity.
  Outfit: Unstructured tobacco brown linen jacket, white poplin shirt with French collar, sand chinos and dark brown suede loafers.
• Daytime wedding: The cotton core makes it less shiny and formal than the usual ceremony choices. It stands out for its clarity and precision.
  Outfit: Light grey cool wool suit, light blue light cotton shirt, natural leather derby lace-ups. No tie clip.
• Long aperitif: This tie works exceptionally well even when the formal suit stays in the wardrobe, becoming an accessory of pure character.
  Outfit: Beige or sage green cotton safari jacket, white linen shirt with rolled-up sleeves, straight-cut light denim jeans, unlined loafers without socks.

The tailor's advice: The presence of 40% cotton makes the fabric less slippery compared to pure silk and gives it a more tenacious feel. Choose a half Windsor knot: it holds the volume perfectly and keeps the central dimple well engraved, without ever loosening during the day.

Product care: Professional dry cleaning. Never iron directly on the blade: use steam from a distance or an interposed cotton cloth at the lowest temperature. At the end of the day, always untie the knot by carefully pulling it out and let it rest hanging or rolled up on itself to allow the fibers to relax. If one day it wears out or needs fixing, there's our Tie Hospital — the only regeneration service in Italy. Send it to us, it will come back like new.
