nice story and a lovely tie. I have the feeling that there a a lot of skilled( especially italian) artisans out there who would benefit tremendously from a more professional approach to e-commerce and general web presence. Hope this drums up some business for Cordone. I for one am intrigued

I need to make a lot more money to travel to Italy for his bespoke services. Or just be able to afford more bespoke items in general...

Congrats. Wear it well and pass it to your son/son-in-law/nephew/best bud's son. It's a thing of beauty.

Nice Stitch, these were one of the guys I originally spoke to about wholesale shirts around 10 months ago, their stuff is outstanding but as you point out, out of reach for almost all but those "can't resist" purchases.

me too.

it doesnt really serve much of a purpose. except maybe that most seven fold ties are stitched closed higher up, to show the fold construction, leaving the folds subject to opening up and not staying still. this button allows you to see the full construction, but also to have the tie fully closed when worn.

also, its awesome.
