The strongest natural fibre and the most widely chosen material for ties and pocket squares on the market. Fairly resistant to wrinkles and featuring a nice, soft drape, silk is the perfect weight for year-round use. Our silk hails exclusively from Northern Italy’s region of Como, home to a climate renowned for its large population of silkworms thanks to an abundance of mulberry trees (thought to be the silkworm’s favourite food). Add to that a history of silk craftsmanship and production that dates back to the 15th century and you’ve got yourself the best of the best in terms of Italian silk.

The number-one material for suits, jackets and trousers also makes for sophisticated ties and pocket squares. Usually matte and naturally wrinkle-resistant, wool accessories are generally more formal than those made of cotton and less formal than those made of silk. An excellent middle ground for business or other semi-formal affairs.

Known for its natural, earthy look and excellent durability, linen is a product of the flax plant (whose technical name is ‘Linum Usitatissimum’, hence the name of the fabric). While 100% linen is highly prone to wrinkles – which, as we all know, can be extremely charming in the right context (usually summer and informal) – linen blends may avoid the wrinkles entirely while still maintaining some of the fibre’s iconic style.

The woven linen tie: mostly available in the Spring & Summer collection.

The knit linen tie: not applicable.

The woven linen pocket square: while considerably different than their supple silk counterparts, our linen pocket squares are still extremely lightweight and unusually soft. Full of body and perfect for less formal occasions. Options include hand stitched thread in one of many contrasting colours.
