Materials
Ties can be made of silk, of course, but also of wool, cashmere and cotton.
Tie materials
THE NINES offers you a selection of ties by material. Each fibre imposes its own visual appearance, such as the indispensable twill tie or the grenadine woven on old Italian looms. For the warmer months and your summer celebrations, our linen and cotton blends are ideal with a wedding suit, while our wool or cashmere models are perfect for accompanying a winter jacket.
The matte quality and thermal coherence of the chest
Beyond the pattern and colour, the material of a tie determines its texture, rigidity, sheen and level of formality. While silk remains the undisputed queen of materials for its natural lustre and fluidity, the world of high-end tailoring incorporates alternative fibres such as linen, cotton or wool. Each material possesses unique technical properties that influence the volume of the knot and the way the accessory reacts to light.
The seasonal adaptation of the wardrobe
The choice of material allows you to harmonise the tie with the cloth of the suit or jacket. Rigorous textile consistency requires adapting the weight and sheen of the accessory to the seasonality of the outfit: dry and matte materials for warmer days, dense and insulating materials for winter, and combed silk for year-round versatility.
Our style tips: how to choose your materials?
Match the fibre of your tie to the fabric of your jacket:
- For absolute versatility: Opt for silk (in twill, grenadine or satin form), capable of adapting to all seasons and all suits.
- For spring and summer: Turn to pure linen or silk-linen blends, whose matte finish and raw texture perfectly complement lightweight jackets.
- For autumn and winter: Opt for thick cotton or wool, essential for complementing the heavy texture of tweed or flannel.
