Thanks Spoo, that's the color I was looking for...royal purple. Looks totally different than the pics! I wear a lot of navy, greys and browns in the winter and this tie should work fine through winter and spring.
Just purchased the tie from Ed - pick me out a good one Ed!! Looking forward to seeing Ed's work!


You are welcome. Ed, whens my commission check being sent? :D

A few weeks ago I saw some Cappellis in a delivery of overstock Kitons (I know the only direct overstock delaer personally), obviously at least some are made in the same factory (though to much lower standards than Kiton's ties).

Just wanted to gift SF some myth busting material for the new year.

I received this Purple Grenadine from Ed at Panta today. My first purchase from Ed and I'm impressed with the quality and customer service. No doubt more purchases to come. Thanks Ed and Spoo!!

Spoo is one hell of an instigator and hell on my pocket book!!

Wait, so you are saying that Kiton produces Cappelli ties, albeit to a lower standard?

Smart choice, you will get a hell of a lot of wear out of that. Especially with the other stuff you buy when I post the rest of my closet clean next week! :fistbump:

I didn't realize how versatile purple is...goes with almost every color dress shirt and pant. Many thanks.
