Thanks. 1 and 3 are RLPL silk madders that I bought on the forum at 2:30 am one Saturday night. I note the time because I didn't really conceptualize just how wide a 4" tie really is at that point.

Luckily, my tailor is one of those jack-of-all-trades who actually makes ties and so was able to slim the ties down for me.

Twist is the hand hemming. RL? It's not from Naples or from Bangkok.

Updated: Da Corato store (1) had a similar (2) tie until today.

(1) Borrelli stores are now called 'Da Corato'
(2) The example that I found is twill, not satin.

Yeah, I was about to blame it on my monitor. But I guess I'm not alone here. Bad exposure on the pic?

The twist is that it's made in the USA.
