Red silk tie with a grey check pattern that retains its sheen.
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.
- Thread it through the knot at the front and gently tighten everything.

More Information
30° Handwas Niet bleken Niet wringen ⟲ 400–600 tpm pH‑neutraal
Je wast zijde het liefst met de hand in koud of lauw water (max. 30°C). Gebruik een mild, pH‑neutraal wasmiddel voor zijde of wol. Week niet en wrijf niet. Beweeg het kledingstuk kort door het water. Was je in de machine? Kies dan het zijde/fijne wasprogramma op 20–30°C, gebruik een waszak en een laag toerental (400–600 tpm). Vul de trommel niet te vol. Gebruik geen wasverzachter en geen bleek. Wring niet; druk het water er zachtjes uit.
Niet in de droger ― Plat drogen Uit de zon Uitrollen in handdoek Brede hanger
Je droogt zijde niet in de droger. Rol het kledingstuk eerst in een schone handdoek om vocht te verwijderen. Leg het daarna plat te drogen op een handdoek, of hang het op een brede, zachte hanger. Laat het drogen in de schaduw, weg van direct zonlicht en warmtebronnen. Breng het voorzichtig in vorm terwijl het nog vochtig is.
Laag (max. 110°C) Binnenstebuiten Persdoek Voorzichtig stomen
Je strijkt zijde op lage temperatuur (1 stip, max. 110°C). Strijk binnenstebuiten en leg een schone persdoek tussen het strijkijzer en de stof. Druk niet te hard en laat het ijzer blijven bewegen om glans te voorkomen. Stomen mag, maar houd wat afstand of gebruik een kledingstomer. Strijk niet over vlekken.

- How do returns work?
- You have 14 days to change your mind. There are no return costs when you exchange for store credit, drop your return off at one of our stores, or send it back yourself with your own label.

Silk
Silk is spun from the cocoons of the silkworm. The fibre is strong, light and has a natural lustre that gives depth to colours. That's why silk is the go-to choice for ties, bow ties and pocket squares.

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.
