Garnet Red Knit Tie - Crunchy

Casual yet elegant, the knitted tie has an indisputable retro vibe to it. This masculine accessory, which appeared for the first time in the Roaring Twenties, has patiently made its way up to the podium of the staple pieces of the elegant men's wardrobe!

Manufactured in Germany, this garnet red silk knit tie was made in a flat knit and not a circular knit. A flat knit tie, also called a crunchy knit, is stiffer and heavier than its round counterpart, the so  fittingly called ​​​​​​soft knit. To obtain the crunchy knit a high amount of silk yarns are knitted on a 16 metre long knitting machine, sewn into its tie shape and then stretched on wooden panels for 24 hours. This last step ensures the final shape and good drape of the silk knit tie. Thanks to its high silk density, this red tie is crisp to the touch, creating the typical rustling sound of silk between the fingers.
