Dark Blue & Light Blue Striped Cashmere Wool Grenadine Tie

Refinement Meets Relaxed Elegance

The interplay of cool and neutral tones brings a serene yet sophisticated vibe to any gentleman’s wardrobe, particularly during the transition between seasons. The dark blue, light blue, and off white stripes of this grenadine tie are intentionally selected to maximize your styling options.

Choosing this tie means you’re embracing an understated yet distinguished color palette. Pair it with garments that support rather than compete with its design, allowing the tie to become the focal point of your attire.

Initiate your look with a pristine white or pale blue dress shirt; such a choice sets a clean stage for the tie’s colors to truly make an impression.

Consider a suit in a soft grey to achieve a subtle contrast with the off white stripe, creating an ensemble that’s effortlessly chic. A darker blue suit would also serve well, echoing the dark blue stripe and allowing the light blue to pop.

Select a pocket square that resonates with one of the stripes in the tie but doesn’t mirror it exactly. An off-white pocket square could subtly tie in with the lightest stripe, while a light blue one might add a gentle splash of color.

Steer clear of introducing competing patterns or bold hues that could detract from the tie’s quiet charm. Embrace the confidence that comes with sporting such a refined accessory, and step out with the knowledge that your ensemble reflects a keen eye for style and class.

Decadently Blended Cashmere and Wool Woven into Resplendent Grenadine

Crafted by an exclusive Italian artisanal mill, this prestige fabric made from the perfect blend of cashmere and wool offers a luxurious combination of warmth, softness, and durability.

The wool provides a robust structure and resilience, ensuring the garment retains its shape and withstands wear over time.

Cashmere, known for its ultra-soft texture and insulating properties, adds a touch of opulence and comfort. Together, they create a fabric that is both practical for colder climates and indulgent to the touch.

Additionally, the expertise of Italian artisans guarantees meticulous attention to detail and high-quality craftsmanship, resulting in a premium product with a timeless appeal.

Authentic grenadine material necessitates the use of uniquely hand-twisted yarns and specific machinery capable of producing a gauze weave akin to that from a jacquard loom. Presently, only a select few mills possess the expertise and facilities necessary to craft this fabric.

We are delighted to have located one such mill in Italy, enabling us to offer grenadine of heirloom quality that surpasses the rarity and value of other printed or jacquard silks.

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.

Please Note: Because this tie is handmade and is designed to be flexible, its final size can vary. As a general rule, our ties have a length tolerance of 1.5″ – 4 cm.

Care

Cleaning

Do not wash your wool-cashmere neckwear by submerging it in water, as doing so could damage the body of the accessory. Instead, when necessary, spot clean the item using the following steps.

Fill a basin with lukewarm water and add a small amount of gentle, wool-safe detergent.

Dab a clean towel into the solution and blot it gently against the stain on the neckwear until it is removed.

Dab the area dry with a dry, clean section of the towel.

Allow the accessory to air dry.

If the stain persists, take your neckwear to be cleaned at a reputable dry cleaner.

Storage

If you wear your wool-cashmere neckwear regularly, you can store it hanging loosely on a tie rack.

If, however, you do not intend to wear your neckwear for an extended period, store it flat or loosely folded to prevent the fabric from stretching.

Store your neckwear in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or harsh lighting to prevent fading.

Consider using breathable garment bags or a storage box with cedar balls to deter moths.

A New Twist on Grenadine

The grenadine weave is famous for its ability to make even solid colors appear more vibrant and nuanced thanks to its unique texture. Rather than limit this versatile weave to silk alone, we decided to try it with a blend of wool and cashmere for a unique visual effect with a soft touch that is perfect for the colder fall and winter months
