Exclusive silks, woven by the best silk mills of England and Italy, are hand cut, hand folded, and hand stitched. The results are ties that have been so perfectly made, you can't help but see and feel the difference.

The slip stitch is one of the most important features of a fine hand tailored tie. It is hard to find, located on the back side of one of the tie's ends. It is a small loop, which is the end of the tie-length thread used to sew the tie. Its purpose is to hold the seam, keep the linings in place, and to allow for 'give' when tying and untying your knot. If you pull on the slip stitch, the tie will scrunch up like an accordion. The slip stitch can only be made by hand. Find it and you have a well tailored tie.

A great test for checking the craftsmanship of your tie is to hold it by the narrow end, with the wide end almost touching the floor. It should hang straight. If it twists, it means the fabric was not properly cut or the folding and sewing were not correctly accomplished.
