Nice, but I think all that nubbiness might give me insomnia.

Just a heads up that theknottery.com is now selling grenadines at $55 a pop. A little skinny for my taste at 3", and I've never tried one, but I have a few of their knits, and they seem decent enough.


Yeaahhh...I bought one of their knits. Not really a fan tbh. The grenadines sound ok, but like you say 3" is a bit skinny.

I have an old habbit since early days for Brioni ties. Still wears and buy them, want to try something new to keep the same standard or even go better then Brioni. I know almost every brand there is out there. Rubinacci vs Brioni?

In my opinion they don't make a similar tie at all. A more fair comparison would be Stefano Ricci vs Brioni (maybe Charvet?!)

From what I've seen they are unlined, hand rolled edges and very light.

Get your point now. The opposite Brioni very thick and wide. Maybe it's time for me to try something new very old fashion I am :D

I bought this Drakes tie on impulse and now have doubts if it is real or not. Can anyone provide me any insight? What throws me off is the blue tag which I dont see any other drake tie with and the apostrophe in the name which also not in the common tag. Is this a fake or older stock?

You got a good deal, that is the latest label as of this year!

Check this out (from Mr. Porter.)
