I’ve been looking for a tie like this for a long time. Drake’s has made them; Eidos made one (I have on in green that I love); but everyone who did one did it before I was paying attention and now I can’t find one. Thankfully, Swedish shop Granqvist has one—and it’s part of their permanent collection.
Not only that, it’s an extremely reasonable price—about $75USD. And shipping’s only $10.
I received it a couple of weeks ago and have worn it a couple times. The silk quality is great (it’s made in Italy), and they’ve chosen to line it very lightly. It knots well, but it isn’t a thick, aggressive knot. Untipped with hand-rolled edges, it looks elegant. It’s not a dark, dark navy, but rather the color has life to it.
I highly recommend it.
