Taken from a recent thread:
I've searched all over, but most salespeople don't even know what a grenadine tie is in the first place.
Exactly. On a recent trip to Dublin I tried to find some grenadine ties, but no one seemed to be familiar with the term. This was in Brown Thomas, Hackett, Thomas Pink, TM Lewin, etc. Is it an american expression?
And what makes a tie a grenadine? I understand that it's a looser than normal silk weave, but is there an easily identifiable point where it shifts from a loosely weaved normal tie to a grenadine?
Like the poster above I'm also interested in a narrower tie.
Who makes a 2 3/4" (7cm) grenadine?
If I were to order a bespoke one from Sam Hober, what construction would you recommend? 3 fold, or 6,7 or 8?
I didn't want to start a new thread, and this is directly related... is Sam Hober pretty much the best (only?) place to buy narrow grenadine ties? By narrow, I am referring to < 3.0" width... 2.5-2.75".
