Frequently Asked Questions
-
How was the zigzag pattern on this tie created?
This silk knit tie showcases an intricate zigzag pattern knitted directly into the silk, creating alternating bands of texture and subtle negative space. The result is a dynamic play of structure and movement that enriches the tie’s surface, especially when paired with our expansive range of color options.
-
What are the benefits of the zigzag pattern on this tie?
Unlike plain knit ties, this zigzag design adds a striking layer of visual interest. Its rhythmic pattern naturally draws the eye upward, ensuring your face, and not just the tie itself, remains the focal point. This makes it particularly effective for settings where presence and confidence are key.
-
How do solid knit ties compare to silk knit ties?
Solid knit ties may be made from silk or wool. Silk knit versions appear slightly sharper, while wool knit versions feel warmer and more seasonal.
-
Are knit ties less formal than smooth silk ties?
Slightly, but they are still appropriate for most offices, weddings that do not require evening wear, and dressy daytime events.
-
Do knit ties stretch out of shape?
Quality knit ties hold their shape well when untied after wear and stored properly.
-
How should I store my knit ties?
To preserve the structural integrity and original length of your knit ties, always store them rolled loosely rather than hung. Because of their elastic, flat-knitted construction, hanging these ties allows gravity to stretch the fibers over time, which eventually leaves them limp and permanently elongated. Simply undo the knot gently after each wear and roll the tie into a loose coil to allow the natural fibers to relax and any wrinkles to disappear overnight.

How to tie a knit tie?
Use a Four-in-Hand so the knot stays compact and balanced. Set a clean dimple, and aim for the blade tip to reach the center of your belt buckle.
-
What is the best knot for a knitted tie?
The Four-in-Hand knot is the undisputed best knot for a knitted tie. Because knit fabric is naturally thicker than woven silk, a Four-in-Hand creates a slim, elegant, and slightly asymmetrical knot that balances the texture of the tie without becoming overly bulky or "chunky" at the neck.
