Grenadine Silk Tie in Navy Blue - 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.

Grenadine Silk

Grenadine is a weave characterized by its open structure and light, gauzy feel, and silk grenadine neckties are accordingly famous for their unique texture that effortlessly pairs with almost every variety of shirt, jacket, or suit.

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. 

3-Fold Construction. Many ties are made with an unlined 6- or 7-fold construction that is soft and flimsy, causing lank, unappealing knots and a wrinkled tie. Fort Belvedere neckties are 3-fold constructed with a simple wool interlining, improving the overall structure and drape of the tie while allowing for fantastic knots. The discerning eye may notice the lining visible through the open pores, creating the impression of a solid tie with a sophisticated twist that will impress genuine clothing aficionados.

Handmade. Fort Belvedere ties are entirely sewn by hand, which gives them improved flexibility and designs that are functional as well as beautiful. Our lined ties have an interlining of merino wool that is wonderfully soft while also giving the necktie improved structure and drape, ensuring full, elegant knots.

Signature 3-Ply Silk Yarn. Fort Belvedere uses sturdy 3-ply silk yarn from Germany in the hand sewing of our neckties, which gives the neckties improved wear and longevity. The silk yarn is also in our distinctive shade of forest green for a unique and unexpected style cue. Perfectly Sized. This necktie is available in three different sizes so that you can pick the necktie that is perfectly proportioned to you.

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.
