Burgundy & White Polka Dot Jacquard Silk Tie

Stately and Refined Burgundy

Burgundy is one of the most refined colors in Classic Style, and this particular shade has all of the rich, decadent color and understated silk sheen that has made this shade so desirable and so famous. This neck tie definitely shines as part of more formal ensembles but it can also be dressed down as the fun statement piece in an ensemble.

To achieve an elegant look, start by pairing the tie with a crisp white or light blue dress shirt, which will allow the pattern to stand out without competing for attention. Consider a shirt with a spread or semi-spread collar to give the tie ample space and to accommodate a variety of tie knots.

For the suit, consider a navy or charcoal grey option. These colors create a rich contrast with the burgundy while maintaining a professional and timeless appearance. The subtle nature of the polka dots adds a playful yet refined element to the outfit, ensuring that it doesn't appear too somber. Creams, tans, or light browns can also be worn if you want to have a more casual look.

When selecting accessories, choose a pocket square that complements but does not exactly match the tie. A silk pocket square with hints of burgundy or patterns that incorporate white can tie the look together. Cream, mustard yellow, dark green, medium gray, navy blue, and tan also pair well with burgundy.

Care

Cleaning

Jacquard neckwear should not be washed immersed in water as doing so can ruin the texture and color of the silk. Instead, spot clean your neckwear 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 neckwear 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 neckwear laid flat on a towel to air dry completely.

If the stain does not respond to the these steps, take the neckwear 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 neckwear hanging, lying flat, or in a very loose roll.

Decadently Woven Jacquard

Jacquard silk is a type of fabric that features intricate patterns woven directly into the material, rather than being printed or dyed on. This is achieved through the use of a special loom called the Jacquard Loom, which allows individual control of each thread. The result is a highly textured and patterned silk with a distinct look and feel.

Jacquard silk is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship and enduring allure of Old World charm. Its intricate patterns, woven directly into the fabric, speak of an era where artistry and attention to detail were paramount. The subtle sheen and luxurious texture of jacquard silk are reminiscent of royal tapestries and opulent attire, making it a timeless treasure in the world of fabrics.

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.
