Neckwear
Sophisticated yet playful, the knit tie occupies a special place in our wardrobe thanks to its stylistic versatility. Ours was designed with these ideals in mind, and was crafted by the neckwear masters at Laboratorio Santina, just outside of Como, Italy. Their team uses heritage production techniques akin to our own production team in the US, ensuring that each tie was crafted to exacting, timeless specifications.
Knit from high twist, 100% silk yarns, this tie features the highly-lauded "cri de la soie" texture that defines the highest standards of knit neckwear. This texture creates a crunchy hand, mid-shine appearance, and ensures lasting longevity.
Laboratorio Santina uses heritage looms that feature a slow, meticulous circular-knit process to ensure high quality and a proper drape. The circular knit shape adds structure without the need for seams, and is hand-sewn shut at either end of the tie. Finishing things off is a 100% silk woven liner at the neck to aid in tying and prevent stretching.

Characteristics:
We searched far and wide for a partner mill to create our first-ever knit ties and landed on Laboratorio Santina for their heritage craftsmanship and decades of experience. Founded in 1979, just a year after we began producing our first shirts, Laboratorio Santina offers ties made the good-ol'-fashioned way. Their processes start with raw silk, which is spun with a high twist into yarns that are both durable and textural. A dip-dye process imbues the yarns with deeply rich color, after which they are treated for color fastness. Lastly, their heritage circular-knit looms create each tie one by one. The entire process is a labor of love, and it reflects the same old-school approach to manufacturing that we take with our shirts.
