Product Info

Be All Among the Blooming Heather

Taking inspiration directly from the rugged masculine versatility of tweed, this silk knit tie features all of the subtle colors associated with the gorgeous Scottish heather as twilight begins to fall over the moors. 

This blending of various shades of grays and similar earth tones has an effect that is at once timeless and modern, effortless and intentional.

Jacket Colors to Wear with This Tie

  • Navy blue

Inspired by the Sporting Life

Handmade in Germany, these Fort Belvedere silk knit ties reimagine the classic cri de la soie silhouette with a sophisticated modern edge. Their slightly wider profile adds visual balance and confidence, pairing equally well with structured tailoring or relaxed jackets.

Each melange tie combines the familiar straight-sided, flat-knit design of our traditional cri de la soie knit ties with a more open, nubby texture that captures light and shadow beautifully. The melange coloration, reminiscent of fine tweed, reveals subtle variations woven from eight harmoniously blended strands.

Please Note: Because this tie was knitted flat and shaped on a wooden mold, a small amount of size contraction takes place immediately after the tie is removed from the mold. As the fabric relaxes over time, the width and length of the tie will increase slightly. Keep in mind that as a handmade product, all stated dimensions are approximate and actual dimensions will vary slightly.

As a general rule, our ties have a length tolerance of +/- 1.5" - 4 cm and a width tolerance of +/- 0.5" - 1.25 cm

Impeccable Materials

The story of this silk knit tie begins with the finest Swiss silk, custom-spun and dyed in a historic mill to achieve its distinctive sheen and depth. This exclusive yarn is then carefully knitted in a European workshop using an artisanal flat-knitting machine that has been in continuous service for generations. Its rhythm and precision produce a weave that is dense yet pliant, crisp yet inviting; a tactile expression of true craftsmanship.

Artisanal Craft Techniques

Unlike common tubular knits, each tie is shaped by hand to achieve a clean, elegant drape. The central stitching adds subtle structure and ensures that the tie keeps its refined lines over years of wear. Finally, it rests on traditional wooden molds for days, allowing the silk to settle naturally into its ideal form: a quiet detail that defines true luxury.

Totally Unique

Slight variations in shape are not imperfections but the individual signature of human hands at work, reminding you that each piece is one-of-a-kind, as an heirloom in the making, ready to bring timeless sophistication to every occasion.

Simple and Accessible: One Size Fits All

This tie is approximately 145 cm - 57.0” long and 7.5 cm - 3.0” wide. 

Because this is a classic straight-end silk knit tie, it requires no sizing. Its unique construction allows it to drape with effortless elegance, ensuring a refined appearance on gentlemen of any height.

Please Note: Because this tie was knitted flat and shaped on a wooden mold, a small amount of size contraction takes place immediately after the tie is removed from the mold. As the fabric relaxes over time, the width and length of the tie will increase slightly. Keep in mind that as a handmade product, all stated dimensions are approximate and actual dimensions will vary slightly.

As a general rule, our ties have a length tolerance of +/- 1.5" - 4 cm and a width tolerance of +/- 0.5" - 1.25 cm.

Cleaning

Do not attempt to wash this silk knit tie. If you notice a stain, we strongly suggest that you have the tie dry cleaned.

If you wish to attempt a spot-cleaning at home, do so using the following procedure at your own risk.

  1. Gently blot any excess liquid from the stain with a soft, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this can damage the silk fibers.
  2. Fill a small bowl with lukewarm water and add a few drops of mild detergent.
  3. Dip a clean, white cloth into the soapy water and wring out excess moisture. Dab the stain gently with the damp cloth.
  4. Moisten another clean cloth with plain lukewarm water and dab the tie to remove soap residue.
  5. Pat the cleaned area with a dry cloth. Then, lay the tie flat on a towel to air dry completely.

Storage

  • To prevent heavy creasing, never store your neck wear tied or knotted.
  • Undo the knot and then roll the necktie up in a firm but not excessively tight coil.
  • Allow it to sit in the coil for about a day to relax wrinkles.
  • To reduce stretching, knit ties should be stored rolled or flat.

Why This Melange Silk Knit Tie is Right for You

There is an understated poetry to a silk knit tie crafted in a melange of interwoven colors. What appears, at first glance, as a single tone soon reveals a world of depth and texture, shifting subtly with every movement and change of light. It is this interplay of color and character that distinguishes a melange tie: harmonious complexity rendered in its most elegant form.

Unlike bold patterns or showy prints, a melange knit projects confidence through restraint. Its charm lies in its discretion, in its ability to intrigue without ever demanding attention.

Premium Production

Every Fort Belvedere melange knit is made from premium silk, spun and knitted by skilled craftsmen who treat color as a material as precious as the fiber itself. The edges are neatly finished yet retain the natural elasticity and drape that define a true knit tie. Tied once, the knot holds its shape effortlessly; untied, it falls back into supple folds that speak of refinement and ease.

A Testament to Taste

To choose such a tie is to appreciate the subtle distinctions that separate the merely well-dressed from the truly elegant. It reflects a collector’s eye, of someone who values nuance, texture, and the art of understatement. In a world often overwhelmed by sameness, the melange knit tie stands quietly apart: a small but unmistakable expression of taste.

Details & Specs

  • Shimmering Mottled Pattern

    A mottled pattern not only allows you to introduce more colors into your tie, it allows you to do so in the most subtle and nuanced way possible. Each delicate yarn transitions through various phases of color for a unique and totally unexpected effect that will make your entire ensemble unforgettable.

  • Flat Knitted

    Most other knit ties are round-knitted, but the yarns for our knit ties are flat-knitted in a painstaking process that requires the workmanship of skilled artisans, but that also produces a superior tie.

  • Shaped on Wooden Molds

    To achieve the perfect shape, our knit ties are individually applied to wooden molds and then set for several days. This traditional method imparts the ideal form to our ties.

  • Old-World Swiss Silk Yarn

    To create this one-of-a-kind tie, we needed one-of-a-kind yarn. We found exactly what we were looking for in a little silk mill in the Swiss Alps, where our silk yarn is custom spun and dyed for a look you won’t find anywhere else.

  • Hand Finished Tie

    Once the knitting process is complete, our knit ties are carefully sewn by hand down the center seam for an elegant drape and improved longevity.

  • Attentive Oversight

    From the moment that our knit ties are first spun until the tops and bottoms are sewn shut and the labels are attached, quality inspectors ensure that every article is made according to the exacting standards of the Fort Belvedere name.
