  • Silk worm and a cocoon Crunchy Swiss Silk - Cri de la Soies
  • Made in Germany
  • 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 Silk Knit Ties

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.

Because the yarns in this tie are mottled, you are offered even more opportunities to develop color combinations and effects than you would have with a conventional multi-tone tie. Each color blends into and out of the other, creating gradients that impart a subtle nuance onto every look.

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.

How You Can Style This Silk Knit Tie

This tie's unique blend of orange and brown hues makes it a versatile accessory that can be paired with various outfits. For a polished, business-casual look, consider pairing the tie with a crisp white or light blue dress shirt.

The neutral shirt colors will allow the tie's rich tones to stand out. Complement this combination with a navy or charcoal grey suit, which will balance the tie's warmth and create a cohesive, professional appearance.

For a more relaxed, yet stylish ensemble, pair the mottled orange and brown knit tie with a beige or tan blazer. This combination works particularly well for daytime events or casual gatherings, where the lighter jacket color will enhance the tie's vibrant orange tones.

Add a pair of dark brown chinos or trousers to maintain a balanced color palette. To complete the look, opt for brown leather shoes and a matching belt, ensuring a harmonious and well-coordinated outfit.

Accessorizing with a pocket square that incorporates shades of orange or brown can further elevate your style. Choose a subtle pattern that complements the tie without overpowering it.

Additionally, consider wearing a watch with a brown leather strap to tie the entire look together. This attention to detail will not only highlight the tie's unique design but also showcase your refined sense of style.

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 mottled silk Fort Belvedere tie special?

Knit ties were popular throughout the Golden Age of Menswear as a distinctive, visually interesting example of neckwear. Many of the finest were made with a stiffer silk sometimes referred to as "crunchy." This is the iconic cri de la soie silk, 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

back details Knit Tie in Mottled Silver Grey Silk Fort Belvedere

  • Cri de la Soie Fabric

    "Cri de la soie" is a French term that translates to "the cry of silk." It refers to the distinctive, gentle rustling sound that certain high-quality silk fabrics make when they are moved or worn. This characteristic sound is often associated with luxury and elegance, evoking images of opulent fashion and timeless sophistication. The cri de la soie is not just an auditory experience but also a hallmark of fine craftsmanship, reminding us that true quality speaks to all the senses.

  • Shimmering Mottled Pattern

    A mottled pattern not only allows you to introduce more colors into your tie, it allows you to do so in the most subtle and nuanced way possible. Each delicate yarn transitions through various phases of color for a unique and totally unexpected effect that will make your entire ensemble unforgettable.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Heritage Knitting Machines

    The wool 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.

  • 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.
