Crunchy Swiss Silk - Cri de la Soies
Made in Germany
Colorful Striped Design
Arrives in Handsome Gift Packaging

The knit tie is the least represented tie in my wardrobe simply because I find it the most informal and use it only when I want a tie to wear with a tweed sport coat. Prior to this purchase my knit ties are from Tom Ford. At more than twice the price the TF ties have neither better material nor craftsmanship. The most distinguishing feature of the Fort Belvedere tie is that I find myself wearing it with my finest suits as opposed to the more causal look I have associated with the knit tie in the past. Highly recommended. I will be purchasing more in the near future.

How to Wear a Striped Silk Knit Tie

Knit ties, with their unique textured fabric, offer a delightful twist to the classic style narrative. They bridge the gap between casual charm and formal elegance, making them a versatile accessory for any gentleman's wardrobe. Unlike their solid counterparts, knit ties provide a subtle nod to sartorial flair without demanding center stage, allowing for a sophisticated yet understated look.

The unique texture of a silk knit tie adds a tactile dimension to your attire. It lends a depth and character that standard smooth ties cannot match, creating an interplay of light and shadow that’s both distinctive and stylish.

The body color of this silk knit tie has been selected with an emphasis on versatility - you can be sure that this shade will pair with the vast majority of colors currently in your wardrobe. The fine stripe, in turn, represents a more dynamic color that helps to add visual interest to the accessory without appearing overwhelming, while at the same time expanding your color pairing options.

Please Note: Because this tie was knitted flat and shaped on a wooden mold, a small amount of size contraction takes place immediately after the tie is removed from the mold. As the fabric relaxes over time, the width and length of the tie will increase slightly. Keep in mind that as a handmade product, all stated dimensions are approximate and actual dimensions will vary slightly.

Crafted from the Finest Silk

Our silk knit ties are born from the unparalleled yarn spun in an artisanal Swiss silk milk. Here, our silk yarn is not just made; it's custom-crafted and dyed to create a tie that boasts exclusivity and splendor you simply can't find elsewhere. The yarn is then spun on a heritage knitting machine that has been standing for over 70 years. This machine is more than a tool; it's a testament to the pinnacle of Old World craftsmanship that weaves the fabric of our legacy.

While others opt for round-knitting, our artisans embrace the challenge of flat-knitting. It's a meticulous process that demands exceptional skill but rewards us with a superior tie that stands apart in both appearance and quality. Each tie is then finished by hand with meticulous sewing down the center seam. This not only enhances the tie's elegance but also fortifies its durability, ensuring each piece is a lasting emblem of sophistication.

Finally, every tie is carefully shaped on wooden molds. Settled for days, this age-old technique ensures each tie emerges with the perfect form—a harmonious blend of tradition and timeless style.

Cleaning

Do not attempt to wash this silk knit tie. If you notice a stain, spot clean it using the following procedure.

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

Fill a small bowl with lukewarm water and add a few drops of mild detergent.

Dip a clean, white cloth into the soapy water and wring out excess moisture. Dab the stain gently with the damp cloth.

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

Pat the cleaned area with a dry cloth. Then, lay the tie flat on a towel to air dry completely.

Storage

To prevent heavy creasing, never store your neck wear 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 stretching, knit ties should be stored rolled or flat.

What makes this striped Fort Belvedere silk knit tie so special?

Knit ties were popular throughout the Golden Age of Menswear as a distinctive, visually interesting example of neckwear. Most of these ties were offered in skinny widths and made from wool or silk.

Soft knit ties are made from flexible, smooth fabric and have a looser drape. They are usually made from wool or plush silk. Knit ties with a stiffer feel that is sometimes called “crunchy” are made from cri de la soie, or “cry of the silk,” so named because of the unique sound that this fabric makes when rubbed against itself.

Fort Belvedere has sourced only the finest silk for these ties. We're proud to offer a classic, casual knit tie that is produced using traditional methods that we know will be a versatile addition to your wardrobe!

Details & Specs

Dynamic Fine-Stripe Pattern

Horizontal stripes are not as common in Classic Style as vertical stripes, so whenever they are employed, they make a splash. To keep this tie as versatile as possible, we opted for a refined, thin stripe that imparts visual interest without appearing obtrusive. The body color has been selected with maximum pairing potential in mind, while the stripe color is intended to create contrast while offering additional options for harmonious pairings with the rest of your outfit.
Old-World Swiss Silk Yarn

To create this one-of-a-kind tie, we needed one-of-a-kind yarn. We found exactly what we were looking for in a little silk mill in the Swiss Alps, where our silk yarn is custom spun and dyed for a look you won’t find anywhere else.
Heritage Knitting Machines

The silk yarn for Fort Belvedere’s knit ties was made on a heritage knitting machine that is over 70 years old and represents the apex of Old World craftsmanship.
Flat Knitted

Most other knit ties are round-knitted, but the yarns for our knit ties are flat-knitted in a painstaking process that requires the workmanship of skilled artisans, but that also produces a superior tie.
Hand Finished Tie

Once the knitting process is complete, our knit ties are carefully sewn by hand down the center seam for an elegant drape and improved longevity.
Shaped on Wooden Molds

To achieve the perfect shape, our knit ties are individually applied to wooden molds and then set for several days. This traditional method imparts the ideal form to our ties.
Attentive Oversight

From the moment that our knit ties are first spun until the tops and bottoms are sewn shut and the labels are attached, quality inspectors ensure that every article is made according to the exacting standards of the Fort Belvedere name.
