Hi,
Thank you for sharing this information with us all.
I just visited the Liberty's site and checked out all Nick Bronson knit ties which are priced at £38.50 and £40.00; I cannot say the difference between the two lines - they are both 100% silk solid ones - but I reckon some quality / finishing differences might be there. They come at 7cm of width - and I thank you again for this - but fairly long at 1.52m (they have actually made a typo and state 52cm). They also carry some winter ones.
As I never heard before of this brand, can any gentleman with extended knowledge inform us of the following:
1. I think NB is merely a retailer (nothing harmful about it!), therefore who is the actual maker of the silk knit ties?
2. Since there is a great coincidence and NB is based in Milan, Italy - like Sozzi is - might the latter be the actual maker?
There are two points of consideration though:
a) I am not certain that the weave is exactly what Sozzi has; if any gentleman - including you dear @culverwood - has silk solid knit ties from both brands, please step in, and
b) there is one color - deep purple, which is great BTW and in my targets, that does not exist in Sozzi's color palette that can be found on the web. It is the one that I am posting here below:

You will find the current Nick Bronson ties at Liberty are 7 cm so good for you.
Michelson are direct suppliers but half the price and they do a wide variety of widths and patterns.
