I'm looking to buy a couple grenadine ties for a navy suit (indochino shark skin) and medium grey suit. I was just planning on buying 2 ties for now and buying a few more in the future. I was thinking a navy and chocolate/forest green grenadine for now but can't really decide between the last two. I really like the burgundy on the navy/grey suits but I have a wine tie already otherwise I think my decision would be pretty easy. Which 2 colours would you guys suggest given the suits that I have? I am open to any colour options you guys think work best.

Also, I'm considering purchasing from chipp2 or the knottery atm. Is there a large difference between the quality of these two? I know that chipp2 is fina/handmade while knottery is grossa/factory made. I guess my question is whether the two are comparable in quality or is chipp2 better made/ties a better knot given that its hand made? Are there any other places I should consider?

Hi Jexbrah-

The ones from the Knottery are actually handmade as well.

I was going to say, If you want a bicolor grenadine, check out Vanda's navy/forest green grenadine. But then I checked their website and it's no longer there. :uhoh: Makes me think what I'll do when the one I have wears out.

Anyway, I also have the Brown-Navy Grenadine tie and, while it's brighter, it's also very cool. Of course, Vanda makes more grenadines.
