I would guess that my Barney's ties weren't made by Michael Drake. I own 5 Saks grenadines with the "MD" label, as well as a 50 oz. Drakes tie bought through STP and none of my Barney's ties compares in weight of silk or construction. I don't have one of my Barney's ties with me, but I believe they're labeled "Made in Italy".

What's wrong with Piatelli? (just bought a beautiful brown and silver houndstooth satin earlier this year; a stunning tie)

Nothing's wrong with Piatelli per se. They are just not of the same quality as Drake's and I wouldn't pay too much for one of their ties.
