Blue tie in a silk-wool-cotton-polyester blend with a subtle pattern, soft sheen, breathable and durable, ideal for the office and dinners.
How to wear it
- The tip of your tie should fall precisely at or just over your belt — neither above nor below.
- Match the width to your lapels: a narrow tie of 6 to 7 cm for narrow lapels, 8 to 9 cm for classic lapels.
- Choose your knot to suit your collar: a small knot for a narrow point collar, a fuller knot for a wide cutaway collar.
- A dimple just below the knot gives your tie depth: press it in with your index finger as you tighten the knot.
Do's
- Always button the top button of your shirt when wearing a tie.
- Choose a tie that is darker than your shirt.
- Combine patterns at different scales: a fine stripe with a large check.
- Untie your tie the same way you tied it after wearing and hang it up: this keeps the fabric looking its best.
Don'ts
- Never wear a tie that sits above your belt or hangs far below it.
- Don't let the narrow end show below the wide end: tuck it through the loop on the back.
- Avoid a glossy silk tie with tweed or flannel; choose wool, knit or grenadine instead.
- Never wear a tie and pocket square in exactly the same fabric and print — let them complement each other, not match.
How to tie it
Four-in-hand knot
Slim and slightly asymmetrical. Works with almost any collar and is the easiest to tie.
- Drape the tie around your neck, wide end on the right and about 30 cm lower than the narrow end.
- Cross the wide end over the narrow end to the left.
- Bring the wide end back underneath to the right.
- Cross it once more over the front to the left.
- Pull the wide end up through the loop at your neck from underneath.
- Thread it down through the front loop and slide the knot up to tighten.
Half Windsor
Fuller and symmetrical. Perfect with a wider collar and for a wedding or business suit.
- Drape the tie around your neck, wide end on the right and about 30 cm lower than the narrow end.
- Cross the wide end over the narrow end to the left.
- Bring the wide end back behind the narrow end to the right.
- Pull it up and through the loop at your neck from above, then down.
- Drape the wide end across the front from right to left.
- Pull it up through the loop at your neck from below again.

How to Wear It
Material
Up close
Silk, wool, cotton and polyester
Wool is a natural fibre from sheep. It breathes, wicks moisture and feels pleasant year-round: cool when it's warm, warm when it's cold. That's why wool is the classic choice for suits and blazers: the fabric drapes beautifully, creases minimally and hangs smooth again after an evening.

How we handle reviews
The label ‘Verified purchase’ appears on reviews written via the review link from an order or receipt that included this item, sent in our email or accessed from your account. These reviews go online immediately.
We read all other reviews before they go online. We cannot verify whether the writer purchased the item, so these reviews do not receive a label.
Reviews with the label appear first, followed by the most recent. Older reviews come from our previous review system and carry the label they were given there.
Reviews written in a language other than that of this page are translated automatically. Under a translated review, you can always show the original.
Every month, we draw 2× € 50,00 in credit among everyone who writes a review, whatever your rating. If your order or receipt is linked to an account, you'll receive 10 loyalty points once per order or receipt for your review, whatever score you give.
