100% wool tartan and 100% pure mulberry spun silk
Characteristics of the seven-fold Bespoke Haute Couture Tartan Tie
Not just a tie but a look that pleases the eye
The seven-fold bespoke hand crafted tartan tie is a work of art. this traditional technique produces a tie with luxury superiority, a rich texture, elegant knot, and exceptional longevity.
Made from:
100% wool 2×2 twill weave tartan and silk lining
100% pure mulberry spun 3.3oz/yd² silk cloth 2 x 2 twill weave tartan. The stock silk tartans are: the Perthshire; muted Strathearn; Edinburgh; and the modern Murray of Atholl.
Care is taken to ensure the tartan tie is created and displayed to present the characteristics of the tartan, honouring the consideration given to the design and its symmetry, and the belongingness the tartan pattern represents.
Although the seven-fold tie traditionaly doesn’t require a lining and the blades are finished with the French rolled hem, the end threads of the twill weave cloth are rebelious and are determined to work their way out of the roll so we do apply a lining.
The tie is constructed using the techniques of the Italian haute couture culture, which considers all aspects of the final look and its wearability.
Price £170
The man who wears his tartan … “differentiates himself from the surrounding peoples. The ease, grace, and elegance of his costume pleases and charms all unprejudiced beholders, whilst the individuality of the man, revealed in the various adjustments of his raiment, and in the buoyant freedom of his carriage, proclaim the man of action, the freeman, and the thinker.”
(The Hon. Stuart Ruaidri Erskine 1901)
