Blue Knit Tie - Crunchy

This blue silk tie was made in Germany on a flat knitting machine 16 metre length. The flat knitted silk is sewn together into its tie shape before being stretched on wooden strips for 24 hours, giving it its final shape and ensures a good drape. A flat knit tie, also known as crunchy knit is made using higher amounts of silk threads than the slightly more common circular knit tie. This is what makes crunchy knit ties crisp to the touch, creating the silk-typical rustling sound between the fingers. Circular knitted ties are softer, more lightweight and supple, which is why they are so fittingly called soft knit.

Silk knit ties are casual yet elegant, adding a nice retro-vibe to any outfit. Knit ties are definitely here to stay: since they first appeared in the 1920s, they have slowly and patiently made their way up to the podium of male fashion accessories!
