How much would you pay for the Perfect Tie?

• Buying a tie is not necessarily easy, and it is sometimes a real chore to find the tie you want. There are so many high-street retailers out there that offer what they are happy to call ‘high-quality’ ties, and it is often nigh on impossible to find a retailer that has truly exclusive products for you to purchase.

  There are ties that are truly exclusive though. These ties are more than just high quality. They are often made from the finest materials, and include clear design points that single them out when compared to the average high street tie. This article looks at a few considerations to note when you look at paying top dollar for a tie.

  The silk tie is the key

  Looking at silk as the obvious issue, if you find yourself confronted with a silk tie there is one simple way to check whether or not the tie is worth the asking price. Run the tie across your skin and see how it feels. If it catches on your skin then there is clear evidence that the tie is not made from superior silk and it is most certainly not worth paying a premium price for it. If it runs smooth and feels smooth as it glides across your skin, this is a superior silk tie and you are looking at something that is worth a financial investment.

  But the best ties are truly the best. And this is where it gets interesting, because once you know the level of craftsmanship that goes into the best ties in the world, it all makes sense.

  Pure wool lines the best ties for men

  For example, did you know that the most expensive silk ties that are still possibly affordable (if you save up) are made with a lining that is pure wool? That is high quality, pure wool, which differentiates from a lining that is made from a wool blend, which is the most common kind of wool lining.

  You can also expect a clear bar tack on a quality tie. Where the tie opens out to spread to a wider bottom there should be a small horizontal stich. This is a sign of a high quality tie, because the bar tack helps the tie to keep it’s shape.

  But if you’re looking for the best ties, they only really start to become exclusive when they are constructed from one piece of silk that is folded over and over upon itself. These are costly, and are a sign of true craftsmanship. They are worth buying though, even if they run into the hundreds of pounds bracket.
