Types of Ties
Neckties
The quintessential tie variety, neckties, offers unparalleled versatility. Ranging from business meetings to social events, they serve as the cornerstone of men’s formal wear. They embody the evolution of male fashion, adapting to trends while retaining their essential role in professional and ceremonial attire.
Bow ties
Synonymous with formal occasions, bow ties add a touch of sophistication and are often favored at black-tie events. Their resurgence in contemporary fashion highlights a blend of playfulness and tradition, appealing to those who wish to stand out.
The Fabric of Elegance: Exploring Tie Materials
Silk ties
- Silk, especially from Como, Italy, remains the most coveted material for ties due to its luxurious feel and sophisticated sheen. The silk road’s influence is evident in the enduring popularity of silk ties, celebrated for their fabric quality and exquisite patterns. The allure of silk ties lies in their unmatched ability to elevate any ensemble with a touch of elegance.
Linen ties
- Linen ties, with their distinct texture, offer a laid-back yet refined option for summer weddings and casual events. They epitomize the relaxed elegance of summer fashion, blending effortlessly with the season’s light and airy attire.
Our Classic Ties: A Study in Perfection
We specialize in two exquisite types of classic ties: the five-fold and the seven-fold. Both styles are renowned for their luxurious feel and impeccable drape, crafted with the utmost attention to detail:
- Five-Fold Ties: Our five-fold ties are a masterpiece of fabric engineering, using a single length of silk that’s intricately folded five times. This method enhances the tie’s thickness, texture, and weight, ensuring a beautiful knot and an elegant hang. The absence of linings allows for a more fluid, graceful fall, making each tie not only visually stunning but also exceptionally comfortable to wear.
- Seven-Fold Ties: Taking the art of tie-making even further, our seven-fold ties are the epitome of luxury. They consist of a large piece of silk folded seven times, creating a more substantial feel and a richer look. This type of construction eliminates the need for linings, showcasing the silk’s pure elegance and producing a tie that is both durable and strikingly opulent. The seven folds ensure the tie maintains its shape and offers a superior knot, embodying the pinnacle of sartorial craftsmanship.
Colors and Prints: A Symphony of Elegance and Quality
At Collars and Cuffs, the distinction of our ties lies not just in their style but in the superior quality of materials and the unique array of patterns and colors. Our primary focus is on crafting ties from the finest 100% silk, known for its lustrous texture and exceptional drape. Each silk tie is available in either a luxurious five-fold or a sumptuous seven-fold style, which enhances the silk’s natural sheen and richness.
In addition to our silk collection, we have introduced a select range of linen ties, featuring the classic herringbone pattern. These linen options offer a more casual yet refined choice, perfect for adding a touch of relaxed sophistication to a gentleman’s ensemble. Whether choosing silk or linen, our ties are designed to express individuality through distinctive colors and patterns, each reflecting the artistry of traditional tie-making and the commitment to quality that Collars and Cuffs stands for.
