FAQs
What is the width of the tie blade?
This tie features an 8cm blade, which is considered a classic and balanced width for most formal attire.
Is this tie suitable for black-tie events?
While it is a formal accessory, ensure it matches the specific requirements of the event, though its elegant black finish is highly appropriate for most formal business and social occasions.
Can I iron this tie if it gets wrinkled?
It is not recommended to iron silk ties directly. If absolutely necessary, use a very low heat setting with a pressing cloth, but professional steaming is much safer for the fabric.
What material is used for this tie?
This tie is constructed from high-quality silk, which provides its signature drape and soft sheen.
How should I store the tie?
Store the tie hanging vertically or rolled loosely to prevent creasing and to preserve the integrity of the silk fibers.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles in the silk
Hang the tie in a moisture-rich environment like a bathroom during a shower to let steam gently release wrinkles, or take it to a professional dry cleaner.
Small spot or stain on the fabric
Do not rub. Blot the area gently with a dry white cloth and consult a professional dry cleaner specialized in silk care.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your tie lasts, always untie it completely after each use; avoid leaving the knot in the tie during storage, as this sets permanent creases into the silk. Use a tie rack or hang it vertically to allow any natural wrinkles to fall out. Because the material is genuine silk, never attempt to wash it in a machine or use water-based stain removers. Should a spill occur, blot gently with a dry, clean cloth and seek professional dry cleaning services immediately. This tie is highly compatible with classic navy, grey, and black suits, making it a staple for any formal wardrobe.
