ABOUT THIS TIE

The deep navy ground carries a large-scale paisley in gold, red, burnt sienna and brown, a pattern characteristic of the Como mills at their most generous. The repeat is bold and the colour palette warm, combining in a way that gives the tie real presence without tipping into noise. It is the kind of print that the early 1980s produced with particular confidence, and which has aged well precisely because it was never trying to be subtle.

Each tie in The Vintage Collection is handmade in Italy, cut to our current silhouette. The construction and finish are identical to everything else we make. The difference is the cloth.

HOW TO STYLE THIS TIE

A paisley at this scale asks something of the rest of the outfit: keep it simple. A navy or charcoal suit and a white shirt give the tie the space it deserves. It works particularly well against tweed and flannel, where the texture of the cloth provides a counterpoint to the richness of the print.

What Makes Our Handmade Ties Special?

1. Handmade in England

All our ties are handmade in England by tie makers with decades of experience producing the finest ties. This ensures that each tie is entirely unique as well as being produced to an exceptionally high standard. We carefully select our interlinings based on the individual fabric being used, which ensures the perfect balance of weight and movement to prevent creasing.

2. Fabrics

We choose to work with only the finest fabrics to make our ties. Our wool and cashmere fabrics are woven in the UK from the world renowned Fox Fabrics and Scabal. We also only work with the finest silk, printed in Macclesfield, England, an area that traces its history of textile production back hundreds of years.

3. Folds & Finishing

Our ties are produced as a classic 3-fold tie with a self-tipped finish, which provides a nice weight while not using an excessive amount of fabric. Self-tipping is widely considered as a finer way to finish a tie, where the back of the blade is made from the same fabric as the tie itself. Self-tipped ties are generally found on premium quality neckwear due to the higher cost of production.

4. Tie Blade Width & Length

We produce our ties with the versatile dimensions of an 8cm (3.15 inches) wide blade and 150cm (59 inches) long. This ensures our ties will pair nicely with the width of most jacket lapels. We also add a stretch loop while slipping the tie, a continuous piece of thread that allows the fabric to move when worn. This special stitch is another indicator that a tie is handmade.

Gift Box

All our handmade ties are delivered in a stylish box which can either be used to store them or also ensures they make the perfect gift.

"I've used Rampley & Co pocket squares, socks and ties for a few years now. All are well-made and stylish. I believe in buying few and buying well - it's the only sustainable way to avoid piles of stuff going into landfill. The ties are the ideal width and length and their quality enables me to tie a full knot - always important. It's always worth keeping an eye on their website as the best designs come and go quickly...." click to read full review.
