The silk and cotton blend removes formal shine and adds a dry, almost chalky texture to the touch. Light blue background, teal geometric micro-pattern that is truly noticeable only at conversational distance. This tie, with its classic three-fold construction, guarantees a natural drape, perfect for those who decide to knot it by choice and not out of obligation.

Style and Pairing Advice

• Lunch on the terrace: The cotton weave of the tie aligns perfectly with light summer fabrics, completing the look without overdoing it.
  Outfit: Unlined navy blue linen blazer, white poplin shirt, sand chinos. Light suede loafers worn strictly without socks.
• Agency meeting: The teal geometric pattern breaks the potential monotony of the light suit, maintaining a professional yet relaxed air.
  Outfit: Light grey combed cotton suit, light blue shirt with a short point collar. Dark brown derby shoes and matching belt.
• Summer wedding: Use it as a focal point for a bright mismatched suit. The tightly knotted tie brings a bold but never loud note of color.
  Outfit: Cream linen-silk blend jacket, light canvas blue trousers, tailored white shirt. Dark woven leather loafers.

The tailor's advice: The 8.5 cm width and the presence of cotton in the yarn call for a compact knot. The half Windsor is the best option here: it fills the collar without bulging, maintaining a clear and precise central dimple throughout the day.

Product care: Dry cleaning entrusted exclusively to professionals. Never iron directly on the fabric to avoid shining the fibers; use a cotton cloth in between at a very low temperature. At the end of the day, always untie the knot and store it hanging or rolled up on itself. 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 comes back like new.
