Crunchy Swiss Silk - Cri de la Soies
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.

A solid color silk knit tie exudes a subtle sophistication that complements any outfit without overpowering it. Its simplicity serves as a testament to the adage that "less is more," inviting an air of polished finesse to your wardrobe. Whether dressing for a high-power meeting or a casual luncheon, the solid silk knit tie navigates the dress code with ease. Its solid color makes it incredibly versatile, pairing effortlessly with various patterns and textures in your suiting.

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.

Set Sail with this Navy Blue Silk Knit Tie

A navy silk knit tie is a timeless and versatile accessory that can add a touch of sophistication to any classic style ensemble. The rich texture and deep color of the tie allow it to be a statement piece while still being subtle enough not to overpower your look.

For your shirt, white or light blue will present a formal and classic air while pink, lilac, pale green, or even light yellow will emphasize the casual nature of a knit tie.

Thanks to the ubiquity of navy in Classic Menswear, your navy silk knit tie will pair effortlessly with most conventional jackets and suits. A charcoal suit paired with a navy knit tie is the epitome of sophistication. The darker shade of grey complements the navy's richness perfectly. Achieve a tonal look by pairing your tie with a lighter blue jacket, perhaps in royal blue. If opting for a navy suit, ensure the suit is a different texture to avoid a uniform appearance. For a softer approach, match your navy tie with earthy toned jackets. They create a warm palette that’s ideal for autumnal looks.

To add depth to your outfit, consider pairing your navy silk knit tie with a patterned blazer in herringbone or tweed. If your suit or blazer has a subtle pattern like pin stripes or checks, ensure that it isn’t overwhelming so the textured tie can stand out.

As the perfect finishing touch, choose a pocket square that complements but doesn’t match exactly. Look for one with hints of navy or complementary colors.

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 Fort Belvedere silk 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.

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!

Chartreuse Silk Knit Tie Cri de la Soie - Fort Belvedere

Solid Pattern

Because this tie has a single, simple color, it provides a bold initial effect but is easy to harmonize with other elements in your ensemble. You can easily build your entire look around this tie, as that single color has considerable visual bulk to balance the other elements in your outfit. However, because of the unique texture of the tie, the single color still has considerable visual interest.
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.
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.
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.
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.
