  • Herringbone fabric icon Versatile Herringbone Pattern
  • Arrives in Handsome Gift Packaging

There are so many purveyors of men's fashion accessories, so how do you know which products are true values both in quality and style? Gentleman's Gazette has taught me to discern both. As a man hampered by red/green color blindness, I have always played it safe by buying common but boring colors, patterns and textures. Now I can order from Fort Belvedere and be sure that I am adding sophisticated distinction to my wardrobe. I could never be really confident before, now I am. I am gratified that this handsome tie has already received compliments and inquiries as to where I got it. Sure it's a bit more expensive than most knit ties, but as Sven counsels, always consider the cost per wear rather than the initial outlay. Wise words, indeed!

How to Wear Wool 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.

Whether paired with a crisp suit or a casual blazer, a knit tie adds depth and character to an outfit. It's this unique combination of refinement and approachability that makes knit ties an enduring element of classic style. They are not just ties; they're a statement of timeless taste that whispers confidence and individuality in the world of menswear.

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 to Play with Red and Grey 

For a classic and polished look, pair it with a crisp white dress shirt and a charcoal or navy suit. The vibrant red adds a pop of color, while the dark grey herringbone pattern introduces a subtle texture, creating a balanced and visually appealing ensemble.

This combination is perfect for business meetings, formal events, or any occasion where you want to make a refined impression.

For a more casual yet stylish approach, consider pairing the knit tie with a light blue or pastel-colored shirt and a grey or brown tweed blazer. This creates a harmonious look that is both relaxed and elegant, suitable for smart-casual settings or weekend outings.

The knit texture of the tie complements the ruggedness of tweed, while the red and dark grey colors ensure versatility and easy coordination with other wardrobe pieces. Complete the look with a pair of chinos or dark denim and leather loafers for a sophisticated yet laid-back appearance.

The Finest Merino Wool

Fort Belvedere has sourced a truly exceptional merino wool, ideal for pairing with their unique, circular knitting machines. The result is a line of knit ties that are not only seamless but also boast an ultra-soft texture and an elegant drape. The wool used in Fort Belvedere’s knit ties are crafted on heritage machines that are over 70 years old, epitomizing the pinnacle of traditional craftsmanship.

Unlike the common round-knitted ties, Fort Belvedere's ties are meticulously flat-knitted—a process demanding the finesse of skilled artisans to create a superior product. Each tie is then hand-sewn down the center seam post-knitting, ensuring an elegant drape and enhanced durability.

To ensure the perfect form, the ties are individually set on wooden molds for several days, a classic technique that defines their distinguished silhouette.

Throughout every stage of creation, from spinning to the final sewing of tops and bottoms and attaching labels, quality inspectors diligently uphold the high standards synonymous with the Fort Belvedere name.

Cleaning

Do not attempt to wash this wool 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 wool.

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

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 Fort Belvedere wool knit tie 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.

Wool was most often used to make soft knit ties with a smooth feel and loose drape. Fort Belvedere has sourced only the finest wool 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

Chartreuse Silk Knit Tie Cri de la Soie - Fort Belvedere
  • Specially Selected Merino Wool Yarn

    Fort Belvedere tracked down truly one-of-a-kind merino wool that was the perfect complement to the rare, circular knitting machines used by our mills. These special machines took the ultra-soft wool and made exceptionally soft ties with an elegant drape that are formed in one seamless piece.

  • 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.

  • 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.
