Rust Orange Printed Silk Tie

Captivating Color

Versatile Rust Orange Tie

Renowned as Frank Sinatra's favorite because it is the "happiest color," orange is typically underemployed in Classic Style because designer's just can't get the shade right. We tested and experimented for years to settle on this particular tone that combines the gravity of red with the sunniness of yellow to produce a refined rust orange. 

The Color of Your Life

When you want to stand out without making a scene, let your accessories speak for you, and this rust orange tie has some marvelous things to say. Its simple Macclesfield neats pattern is both orderly and whimsical, lending itself to being dressed up or down while it highlights this year-round shade of orange. 

During the warm months, this orange is like a vibrant sunburst blazing in the sky, filling you with confidence whether you've paired it with a dark navy suit for a day at the office or a light gray one for a lunch with friends. 

With appropriately sedate accessories and a dark suit, this orange tie can easily be dressed up for more formal evening occasions, such as cocktails with an important client or a hot date for which you want to leave a lingering impression. 

Considerations for the Collar

When tied, the knot of this necktie has sufficient visual and physical weight to pair well with any variety of shirt because its color makes such a lasting impression. With a narrower collar, the color draws attention to even the slightly-obscured knot. With wider collars, the interplat of the neat, orderly pattern and the color produce an effect that is enchanting but not overwhelming.

For Your Tie Knot

Although this tie will pair marvelously with any tie knot, medium or large knots look exceptionally dapper with the tidy Macclesfield neat pattern, as it prevents the tiles from appearing cut-off or awkward. Therefore, a full windsor or a half-windsor knot would be ideal options.

The Finest Silk in the World

Sourcing Superior Silk Fabric

Silk has long been heralded as a superior material choice when it comes to neckwear. Its silky texture encourages clean lines, it takes dyes with minimal bleeding, and its tight weave ensures a refined and classic drape. As with any luxury product, however, a products origins are everything.

That is why we source our silk fabrics from only the finest heritage houses in Europe, primarily in England and Italy. The craftsmen of these nations have developed a reputation for silk production that goes back millennia, and to this day, we insist up working with only the finest artisans in this field.

Impeccable Workmanship

When it came to crafting this exceptional fabric into neckwear, however, we made a fascinating discovery: when comparing products made by artisans across the world, it was in a tucked-away workshop in Vietnam that we found the most precise stitching, the most extensive handiwork, and the best overall product.

We believe that results should speak for themselves, which is how this little facility won out on our contract over factories in England, Italy, and even Germany.

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.

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.
