You don't mind the 2.5" width?
Not at all. That's actually kind of wide for a knit tie. It certainly doesn't wear like a "skinny tie"

Hello,
Hello,
Grenadine ties aren't the most common because they are very expensive...
Kent Wang grenadines are only 75 bucks, and Hobers are $80. That hardly seems expensive considering the quality and versatility of grenadine ties.
It's a freaking bargain, in fact, given what Big Tymers pay for 7-fold Kiton neckties that aren't bespoke (like Hober).
My Les Copains knits are excellent: crunchy and open weave. On par with Drakes. They may well come from the same silk mill near Como.

For solids, what colors do you've? I'm thinking black, navy, brown, and grey.
Knit ties may be too casual for the office. Many people think they look silly because of the square end. Grenadine ties are fine, if not a bit too dressy for the office these days. Grenadine ties aren't the most common because they are very expensive and you will no longer find them from mainstream stores like Brooks Brothers. I think of them as more of special occasion ties since they are so fine and delicate. If you want to look stylish you can't go wrong with grenadine.
Is the end of a knit tie supposed to touch your belt like a "regular" tie? I forgot knit ties are square at the end . . . I think that has to grow on me a little more before I buy. Grenadine, on the other hand, I love.
