At the end of last month I purchased a navy silk knit on eBay under the auspices that it was by Drake's. When it arrived, I noticed that it had a somewhat noticeable bump running down the length of the center of the tie, an impression from the seam on the back. This being my first foray into silk knits, I didn't assume it necessarily indicated anything in regards to quality or authenticity. Besides that, I liked the tie, and wore it once, receiving a couple of compliments.
Then I pulled it out to wear again today, and noticed something that made me do a doubletake. At the end of the back blade is a little tag with care instructions that says, at the very bottom, "Made in Germany."
What the hell? Can anyone tell me if Drake's knits are produced in Germany? I had the impression that they are all made in England, but I don't want to start something with the seller if Drake's outsources production of their knits or something. Any info or advice would be appreciated. And if pictures are necessary, I can take some.
