Blue/Cyan Medallion? Navy/White Flowers? Blue/Mango Circles? In case you can't tell, I lean hard blue haha.
Have you posted pics of the honeycomb yet? Would be curious to see it IRL.

 

Ha, I'm actually trying to get something with a little less blue dominance for variety. My stable of navy ties is strong (and I have thought of the blue/mango circles as an option).

This would slay with a navy suit:



So would this:

 

If not those specifically some stripe shantung options would be great!

 

To be honest, I was referencing the glencheck design (had assumed it came in multiple shades perhaps), but, I do love me some mohair, so I’d welcome any and all options!
For what it’s worth, if there was something along the lines of a black, bluish navy, and burgundy, I’d be all about it. One takeaway about the Tie is the edges seem particularly “flowy,” in the sense that they don’t seem quite as pressed in. It’s quite interesting. Curious (well, assuming I’m even partly correct lol) if that was the intent with making this one up, or if it’s simply the nature of the higher mohair content?

 

Sorry hijack, but how should one maintain their ties?
Should i send them to the dry cleaners every now and then?
Or just use the steam off the iron? (not pressing the tie, just a burst of steam)

 

You shouldn’t need to anything to maintain a tie other than hanging it or rolling it after wearing AND vigilantly avoiding stains.

 

May i ask what is the purpose of rolling the tie after you have worn it?
To smooth out the wringkles?

 

Some people prefer to store their ties rolled up--it saves space and avoids any winkles you might get from folding. I've always shied away from rolling ties, though, because if you aren't careful and diligent, the delicate tips can become damaged. This is especially true if the tie is untipped with hand rolled edges, like Vandas.

 

Many thanks for the great advice guys.

 

Fwiw, I roll my ties after wearing overnight, then hang. I roll fairly loosely, applying slight pressure to points of wear (where wrinkles are apt to appear), and stop at the bar tack, so as not to mess with the rolled edges.

 

This is great info Gerald! Thanks!

How necessary is it to not hang grenadines and loose knits for long periods of time, as in years? I have many, many older grenadines from you that I've always kept hung, never rolled. Off the top of my head, I believe the grenadines I have from you are the Solid Navy Piccola, Grey Melange with Navy Overweave Fina, and Light Blue Melange Fina. I also have other knits, like the Apricot-Blue Basketweave. If I keep them hung for another ten years, say, will they stretch out beyond all recognition? Or is it minor? Haven't noticed any problems so far, but would of course not to have stretching down the line.

 

Look at what they do to this Isaia tie. Starts at about 1:20.
