several months ago
i was introduced to teh
owner of 'passagio cravatte'
another maker of bespoke ties
who specialises in 'brighter'
prints and wovens with a 'vintage feel'
i initially ordered a grenadine
and a soft italian cashmere regimental
however there was a problem -
the cashmere was made up
in an unlined 7 fold....
.. and the fabric was not suited
for such a construction - it tended
to open up.
so it is now being remade
as a 4 fold unlined.
the owner also had a few
vintage silks and wools
which i subsequently ordered
and received.
l-r:
grenadine - cashmere - vintage wool - vintage madder - vintage wool - vintage silk
backside of the cashmere in untipped 4 fold
back of the vintage wool in what he calls
'7 fold unlined'
which only has the wool interlining
around the neck
a normal untipped 7 fold
a crisp and thin wool
construction is all very well done
except for the initial cashmere
i ordered.
