Campania Structure Solid Dark Grey Silk Tie

In 1893 Oscar Wilde wrote ‘A well-tied tie is the first serious step in life’. Fashion historians in Europe trace the advent of neckwear to Croatian mercenaries hired by King Louis XIII who wore bright, knotted kerchiefs around their necks in the Thirty Year War. Parisians took notice and immediately neckwear became fashion. Legend has it that the traditional name for neckwear “Cravats” has been derived from the Croats. Over centuries, ties have become a symbol of elegant, formal dressing and serve as the foremost expression of individual fashion in a gentleman’s ensemble. Solid ties can add subtle style to a patterned shirt or a bring a bold contrast to a plain shirt and are available across colours in both 100% pure Silk and Microfibre.
