Knit tie maker?

[chorse123]

It seems that almost every single knit tie I've seen has been made in Italy and has nearly identical tags, leading me to believe they could be from the same maker. Does anyone know who that might be?

I think Nick Bronson makes knits for a lot of people. I know he makes knit ties for KJ Beckett and Gallo, I suspect he may make them for Paul Stuart and Barneys and G. Vasta, although I don't know this for sure. http://www.nickbronson.com/ I don't think all knits are made by the same maker, but probably a lot.

which is why I think it doesn't make sense to pay a premium for brands when buying plain knits. The $25 BB are just as good as Marinella

I don't think you get more value for your $. That said, I don't believe Zegna, as well as Barbera, knits are made by the same maker.

One of my favorite knits is from Lands' End, and, as far as I can tell, it's as good as any I've got, including my Charvets.

The good thing about silk knits, other than the fact that they're awesome, is that they seem to hold up very well.

+1 for Lands' End.

That really is the thing, right there.

Thanks for the lead knittieguy.

Same quality but Charvet and other high end sellers will tell you that they commission special runs with proprietary colors/patterns. How else can they justify trebling the price.

I think someone else makes Massimo knit ties. They seem a lot different than the KJ Beckett Nick Bronson types (which I love by the way).

Does anybody know, who makes the Rubinacci knit ties?

I really love the styles and they seem to be good value for the money.
