What are the different tie textures?

[josepidal]

I'm interested in how textures give ties some surface interest. I've read about grenadines and wovens, twills and satins. Anyone have a resource on these different types of ties and the descriptions of the textures you can have?

I'd suggest going to a store where they have a lot of ties and just feeling them for yourself - a lot more useful than a description of what a fabric looks and feels like.

isn't this like asking what different pizzas taste like????

I've done that, though the ones on display are usually a lot of printed ones.

I was just wondering what the categories of textures were, the way there are different categories of fabrics for suits.

I think if you browse the sam hober and FIH sites you'll get some ideas, albeit not an exhaustive list by any means.

This sounds like a question I would have posted. Right down to the categorizing fabric swatch icon.

It's almost spooky!
LOL

I see where you're going - and yes - I'd like to have those definitions for my notes as well.

Keep me posted. We may wind up sharing some research work.

You guys take notes on how to dress?

Nah, just bookmark threads.
