During the era that for a man to ger cloths, he had to visit a tailor, ties also needed to be made by hand. During that era, for a tie to be made required one meter of fabric, which was folded on the bias of its weave, in order to create unlined ties.

Today, to achieve mass production of low cost ties, tie fabric envelops a synthetic interlining. Tis interlining gives the fluffy feeling when touched, which would have been otherwise achieved by layers of silk. Visualy the result seems right, practicaly though a factory made tie feels like a .. scarf.

In order to visualise the scarf effect, we cut a “silk” factory tie, to view whats is realy inside such a tie

Choose Unlined Ties

The feeling is unique, similar to its construction. Compared to factory ties, where thick synthetic interlining prevails, handmade unlined ties maintain the natural drape of the fabric, the perfect blade shape, the light feeling and the authenticity of a quality tie made just for you.

The construction of unlined ties allows for perfect knots, helps the neck to feel free, giving it a kiss of silk, compared to the common warm scarf feeling ties. Wearing unlined ties, you will forget that you are even wearing anything around your neck.

The unique construction of unlined ties, requires fabrics of very high quality. Synthetic, polyester or other hybrid facrics donot belong in hand made tie construction.
