My latest haul. There is a solid pink that left out, the photo kept presenting much brighter than real life. View attachment 1348524

Great looking ties. Wear in good health. I have the one to the left and love it. What's the colour of the other one? Looks like a muted yellow or mustard colour?

Hi Don,

I think that red tie will be in heavy rotation, very versatile. The other tie is actually a green base, kind of an olive or moss. It’s my first Madder, the fabric has a great dull feel and is hard to capture in a photo. The site is pretty accurate on color.

The Madder fabric feels very delicate and I have tied it a couple of times, struggling a little to get a good looking knot. I used standard construction, do you spec a different lining on your Madders?

Thanks for the reply, sir. I've had the red tie for some time, but haven't worn it yet. But as you said, a very versatile piece.

As for the other tie, you're correct; it does look more olive-ish at Patrizio's website. I do own a tie from another former affiliate vendor that is reminiscent of yours judging by your pics. But mine is more mustard-ish in colour (see attached pic). If yours is in fact a olive-based tie, I'll have to add it to my wish list as I plan on comissioning a couple of ties this month.

As for the construction, I always ask for light interlining for three specific reasons: 1) I like the air-y feel of a light tie, 2) the tie does pull down to a lesser degree avoiding the tie gap (gap between the collar and the knot) that usually emerge during the course of the day and 3) it makes a better/smaller knot which matches better with my collar size.

Any idea where I can pick up this tie (sold out at Skoaktiebolaget)?

My first Cappelli madder (from eBay). Loving it and I now understand the hype. Probably won't ever go elsewhere for ties again.

Just had a brief exchange with Patrizio...very brief, by email. He is well though as many of you know the situation in Italy is pretty grim. But he's currently well.

Stay safe all, and practice social distancing.

I have the same version of this madder tie in yellow and I too can’t get a good looking knot. A four in hand looks small and has a weird shape, and develops wrinkles all over. I tried a half Windsor, which looks passable. The yellow version of this has a the light and chalky hand, but the color is actually fairly vibrant.

Sorry for the bad pics. I tried to take them with and without flash as there's no natural light.

Hey @DonRaphael is the burgundy medallion madder still your favorite tie? I like the navy version I have (even though it is a bit boring) and thinking about getting the burgundy version.

Hi mate. Absolutely, it's my favorite of the lot. Extremely versatile. Let me know if I could help you with your decision with pictures or anything else.

Any extra shots you can provide would be awesome. From the experience I have with the navy version, the color definitely pops with some direct sunlight, I think it’s a very elegant fabric.

Of course. Please see attached pictures for all three ties. They all pop colorwise in real life. The burgundy is really rich. Love that it's a true burgundy and not intense red.

Just had an email chat with Patrizio who is fine. On ties he says the following:

It "is possible to place orders, I have cleared the payment of course [i.e. he is not charging at the time of order]. When I reopen, I will notify those who have placed the orders, and if they still want the ties, I will ask for the payment and make them."

FYI one of the nicest madder fabrics seems to be back. It looks brighter in the website photos so you might verify with Patrizio that it's the same one I'm wearing on the right, if you are interested.

I was wondering if anyone bought this and whether the colour is the same as the old one
