Cashmere Wool Grenadine Tie in Orange, Gray Wide Stripe - Fort Belvedere

Neckties are one of the most valuable, versatile, and varied accessories in Classic Menswear. At Fort Belvedere, we proudly offer a wide range of products to suit every formality,
occasion, and personal style.

Made from the finest silks and wool sourced from Italy and England, these ties are a fantastic value that will help your entire wardrobe go further. We are also one of the few retailers to offer our 3-fold neckties in three different sizes, either tipped or untipped, so you can find the necktie that works perfectly with your height and preferred trouser rise.

WOOL-CASHMERE GRENADINE

The grenadine weave is famous for its ability to make even solid colors appear more vibrant and nuanced thanks to its unique texture. Rather than limit this versatile weave to silk alone, we
decided to try it with a blend of wool and cashmere for a unique visual effect with a soft touch that is perfect for the colder fall and winter months

Perfectly Blended Wool and Cashmere. The yarn for this tie is a blend of cashmere and merino wool that is intended to be wonderfully soft but also structured. Black silk has also been
used to emphasize the typical look and feel of grenadine. Woven on very old, slow looms, this fabric is expensive to make but it possesses a remarkable depth of color.

An Unexpected Take on Grenadine. Exclusively woven for Fort Belvedere by a heritage Italian mill, this wool-cashmere grenadine is very different from traditional silk grenadine. It has an exceptionally soft finish and a beautiful combination of mottled colors that is unlike any other fabric in menswear.

Old-World Loom Italian Grenadine. Genuine grenadine fabric requires special hand-twisted yarns and machines that create an open gauze weave similar to a jacquard loom. Only a handful of mills today have the experience and resources required to make it, but we found such a mill in Italy and are proud to source heirloom-quality grenadine that is far more rare and valuable than other printed or jacquard silk fabrics.

Unique Grenadine Weave. The most well-known grenadine patterns are Garza fina and Garza Grossa. Garza fina has a fine, porous weave that looks similar to that of knit ties, while Garza
Grossa has a flexible, more open weave with increased texture and threads that pull more easily. Fort Belvedere ties are specially woven in Italy to exacting standards that produce an exceptional texture and feel while minimizing the likelihood of potential pulled threads.

Size

Almost all retailers sell their ties as one-size-fits-all. A handful offer neckties that are either longer or shorter. At Fort Belvedere, we cater to the needs of every man, whether of modest, average, or above-average height, which is why we are proud to offer neckties in three distinct sizes.

The dimensions of our neckties are proportional to your height. The following chart will guide you as to which of our necktie lengths is right for you.

SHORT: For those who are 5’8” or 173 cm or shorter.
REGULAR: For those who are around 5’11 or 180 cm tall.
LONG: For those who are 6’3” or 190 cm or taller.

Please note that if you prefer to wear trousers with a higher rise and are in-between sizes, it may be better to size down so that the necktie does not fall below your waistband when tied.
