Ever since i decided to upgrade my tie collection I looked I purchased several quality handmade ties. I decided to give the Gentleman’s Gazzette Shop a try since I listened to style tips for several years. As expected the quality was nothing but superb! I plunged right in a purchased 3 ties on my very 1st order and each tie is truly exquisite. Quality is as good as it gets. I have several Ancient Madder ties and this one is truly a work of art. One of the things that is exceptional about the Gentleman’s Gazzette is that they offer an excellent discount when you purchase multiple ties from them. Great selection with many choices to choose from. I am sure I will be coming back to shop!

The Style of Silk

Silk ties have been gracing the necks of menswear connoisseurs for centuries, and it isn’t difficult to make a great impression when your neckwear radiates pure class and elegance with the rich yet subtle colors typical of exceptional dyes.

Popularized during the 19th century, silk is famed for its plush, decadent colors and unique, tactile hand. Quality silk is increasingly difficult to find nowadays, but Fort Belvedere was able to secure a supply from a heritage silk mill operating in England.

How to Look Neat with Macclesfield Neats 

For a classic look, pair this tie with a crisp white dress shirt and a navy or charcoal gray suit. The dark blue base of the tie will harmonize seamlessly with the suit, while the light blue and red neats add a touch of sophistication and visual interest. Complete the look with polished black or brown leather shoes and a matching belt for a timeless, elegant appearance.

For a more contemporary approach, consider pairing the tie with a light blue dress shirt and a medium gray suit. The light blue in the shirt will complement the light blue neats in the tie, creating a cohesive and stylish look.

Add a pocket square that picks up the red accents in the tie to tie the whole outfit together. This combination is perfect for business meetings or formal events where you want to make a subtle yet impactful statement.

If you're aiming for a more relaxed yet polished look, try pairing the tie with a light gray or beige blazer and a white or pastel-colored shirt. The contrast between the light blazer and the dark blue tie creates a balanced and sophisticated appearance.

Opt for chinos or tailored trousers in a complementary color, and finish the outfit with loafers or brogues. This styling approach is ideal for daytime events or smart-casual occasions where you want to stand out with understated elegance.

Sized To Fit You

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.

SHORT: For those who are 5’8” or 173 cm or shorter.

REGULAR: For those between 5'9" or 175 cm and 6'2" or 188 cm.

LONG: For those who are 6’3” or 190 cm or taller.

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.

Available Self-Tipped or Untipped

Based on size, some of our ties are Self-Tipped or Untipped.

Self-tipped ties have a lining as part of their tips. The overwhelming majority of tie makers use a less expensive fabric for the tip in a bid to save money, but doing so compromises on the look and the functionality of the tie. All self-tipped Fort Belvedere ties feature a generous piece of lining in the same fabric as the tie’s body for a consistent, quality-made look and feel that is in keeping with traditional self-tipped tie construction.

Fort Belvedere also offers untipped ties in which the tips are carefully hand-rolled for a beautiful look and secure finish that requires more skill to achieve than a self-tipped tie. Because they have less fabric, untipped ties are also lighter. Untipped ties were very popular in the 1930s, and as a tribute to the styling conventions of that era, Fort Belvedere untipped ties have a vintage flared end.

An Ancient Dye of Historic Beauty

Madder silk is a mesmerizing and lustrous textile that has been held in high regard throughout the annals of time for its intensely rich hues. The name "madder" is derived from the Rubia tinctorum plant, also known as common madder or dyer's madder, which is the source of its natural and vibrant dyes.

Traditionally, natural madder root was renowned for yielding primarily red pigments; however, the evolution of modern dyeing techniques has expanded this spectrum to embrace a panopony of deep, saturated tones. Envision shades such as mustard yellow, forest green, burnt orange, profound blues and violets—and naturally, the classic reds and burgundies.

The very finest madder products, such as those we offer, are renowned for their unique texture and sheen, having been printed on twill silk fabric treated with gum arabic, conferring on them a distinct, matte finish known among connoisseurs as a "chalk hand."

Today, the artisans dedicated to crafting madder fabric might be fewer than in days past, yet select purveyors continue to uphold this sartorial tradition. The creation of madder silk is an intricate and labor-intensive art, entailing numerous stages of screen printing and necessitating only the finest quality silk. With a commitment to excellence, Fort Belvedere sources its revered ancient madder exclusively from England.

Cleaning

A silk tie should not be washed as immersion in water as doing so can ruin the texture and color of the silk. Instead, spot clean your tie using the following steps.

Gently blot any excess substance from the stain with a soft, dry cloth. Do not rub as this can damage the fabric.

Fill a small bowl with lukewarm water and add a few drops of mild detergent specifically designed for silk.

Dip a corner of a clean, white cloth into the solution and test it on a hidden area of the tie to ensure it doesn't cause discoloration.

If the test is successful, lightly dab the stained area with the dampened cloth. Use a gentle tapping motion and do not saturate the silk.

Moisten another clean cloth with plain lukewarm water and gently dab the area to remove any soap residue.

Pat the cleaned area with a dry cloth to absorb moisture, then leave the tie laid flat on a towel to air dry completely.

If the stain does not respond to the these steps, take the tie to a professional dry cleaner experienced in handling silk garments.

Storage

To prevent heavy creasing, never store your neckwear tied or knotted.

Undo the knot and then roll the necktie up in a firm but not excessively tight coil. Allow it to sit in the coil for about a day to relax wrinkles.

To prevent wrinkles, store your silk tie hanging or in a very loose roll.

What make this Fort Belvedere silk tie special?

Silk ties embody a timeless elegance that is rooted in both their rich history and the distinctive process by which they are created. Each hue carries with it the subtlety and complexity of nature, ensuring that no two ties are exactly alike. The silk itself provides a lustrous backdrop that catches the light in a way that other materials cannot replicate.

The classic patterns typical of silk are imbued with a sense of tradition and craftsmanship. These designs have stood the test of time, offering a nod to the past while still being completely relevant in contemporary fashion. Wearing a silk tie is more than just a fashion statement; it's an embrace of artisanal heritage, a commitment to quality, and a demonstration of impeccable taste. It's a subtle yet powerful way to communicate confidence and a discerning eye for the finer things in life.

Details & Specs

Bottle Green and Dark Ruby Macclesfield Pattern Madder Silk Ties- Fort Belvedere
  • The Highest Quality Silk

    Silk is a top choice for neckwear due to its smooth texture, vibrant dye absorption, and refined drape. While we source our silk from renowned heritage houses in England and Italy, known for their centuries-old craftsmanship, our search for the best neckwear led us to a workshop in Vietnam. There, we discovered unmatched precision in stitching and craftsmanship, surpassing even the renowned factories in England, Italy, and Germany. This Vietnamese facility's superior results earned them our contract, proving that quality speaks for itself.

  • Timeless Macclesfield Neats Pattern

    A Macclesfield Neats pattern is a classic and refined textile design characterized by its small, intricate geometric shapes, often resembling tiny flowers or neat dots. This pattern is traditionally associated with men's silk ties and is named after the town of Macclesfield in England, which was once a hub for silk weaving. The Macclesfield Neats pattern exudes sophistication and is a timeless choice for formal attire, adding a touch of elegance and understated flair to any outfit.

  • 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. This careful oversight allows us to offer exceptional products typified by the standards of Old World construction.

  • Signature 3-Ply Silk Yarn

    Fort Belvedere uses sturdy 3-ply silk yarn in the hand sewing of our neckties, which gives the neckties improved wear and longevity. The thickness of the yarn makes the entire product more durable but thanks to the lightness of the material, no bulk is added.

  • Available Tipped or Untipped

    Self-tipped ties have a lining as part of their tips. The overwhelming majority of tie makers use a less expensive fabric for the tip in a bid to save money, but doing so compromises on the look and the functionality of the tie. All self-tipped Fort Belvedere ties feature a generous piece of lining in the same fabric as the tie’s body for a consistent, quality-made look and feel that is in keeping with traditional self-tipped tie construction.

    Fort Belvedere also offers untipped ties in which the tips are carefully hand-rolled for a beautiful look and secure finish that requires more skill to achieve than a self-tipped tie. Because they have less fabric, untipped ties are also lighter. Untipped ties were very popular in the 1930s, and as a tribute to the styling conventions of that era, Fort Belvedere untipped ties have a vintage flared end.
