Up your tie knowledge: there are 4 basic types of ties

From most formal to least formal

 Ties can be either a woven or a knit

Wovens (more formal)

Weaves are textiles created by perpendicular, interlacing yarns. Generally speaking, the finer the yarn, the more formal the resulting fabric. Offering a crisper feel and fuller drape, weaves tend to be sturdier and more formal than knits. The following weaves are available for our ties and/or pocket squares.

Knits (less formal)

Unlike the criss-crossing yarns of a weave, knits consist of consecutive loops, making them much more flexible, springy and casual than woven textiles. When it comes to knit ties, a number of elements tend to be consistent: a loose texture, the absence of an interlining and square ends. Available in silk for year-round enjoyment or in wool for a slightly heavier, more textured look that’s well suited to fall and winter. Knit ties can be used to dress a look up or down, depending on the elements at play

Types of Woven Ties

  • Twill

    Available in a wide range of colors, the twill weave is one of the most versatile around. Used for many different textiles and characterized by its parallel diagonal rib structure, the texture is subtle enough for both fancy occasions and everyday use, whether as a tie, bow tie orpocket square.

  • Grenadine

    Yes - it’s a woven tie even though appears as a knit (one of our most popular weaves). Although originally used to make black lace in the 18th century, the grenadine weave is now most often reserved for the outer shell of a tie. Reminiscent of gauze, its open, mesh-like quality ensures an interesting texture, even in the case of solid colors. Also available for bow ties and pocket squares.

  • Jacquard

    Instead of printing patterns directly onto the surface, jacquard fabrics feature an intricate pattern woven into the warp on a special mechanical loom. The resulting fabrics look and feel rich and are available in a variety of compositions such as wool, silk and linen, or a combination of these

  • Satin (bow tie only)

    The satin weave’s pattern of interlacing yarns results in a smooth, glossy front and a matte back. Thanks to its inherent shine, colors made in a satin weave tend to look even brighter. Instantly elevating your entire ensemble, satin makes for an eye-catching bow tie. Intended for occasional use. Only available in our bow tie make and not available for ties or pocket squares.

  • Ottoman (bow tie only)

    Strong, softly draped and wrinkle resistant, our Ottoman fabrics are characterized by horizontal ribbed weft yarns and compared to faille and bengaline, the ribs of Ottoman fabrics are larger and rounder. The plain weave fabric involves thicker and grouped weft yarns with numerous finer warp yarns that totally cover the weft. Ottoman can be made from different fibers, but for our tie collection we only offer it in a luxurious silk.

  • Velvet

    Our velvet fabrics are characterized by the short fibre pile on the face of the fabrics. This pile brings a soft and warm touch to the surface of the fabric, and gives the resulting bow-tie its characteristic look. Our cotton velvet options are very suitable for black-tie events and come in a variety of fancy colors.
