I love red white and blue. My favorite combination of colors on a tie is the best I could ask for. I was very skeptical of buying a high end tie. Most people around me are about the “it’s a tie, why spend that much?” I’ve never bought one before and decided to try it since I graduated college and received some extra funds. I’m definitely not going back to what I had. This is now my favorite tie. If you’re someone who likes to wear ties, definitely invest in getting some higher end ties. They look and feel better. Although I did have to figure out how long my ties I wear currently are first before getting this tie. I’m 5’8” exactly, weighing around 200-210. I got the regular I tipped (usually for men 5’11”). I like the half Windsor because of its look and it’s easy. I don’t think I could do a full Windsor with this tie or I would need a longer one. It may just be my body type, but I always have to have the skinny end a full hand above my natural waistline, leaving little for the short end. Not sure if a longer tie would fix that, but that has been my observations. This tie is amazing and I definitely recommend it.

Its immediately evident that this tie is of superior quality and beauty. Its worth the splurge if looking sharp and leveling up is your goal. I’ve made a few purchases from Ft. Belvedere and am completely satisfied with their products.

It’s supposed to be 142 cm but it measures 149 cm from tip to tip. I have to tie a half-windsor knot to get the correct length. This Shantung silk tie is a little too this for that knot. Nevertheless, it’s a beautiful tie, much more attractive than the picture conveys.

I always needed a reliable tie and this tie exceeded my expectations. It’s of exceeding quality and looks extremely luxurious. Have already received multiple compliments after only one wearing.

This is the second color that I purchased of this tie. I very rarely need to be very dressed up and these ties work well with denim and chambray shirts and a tweed blazer. People comment on the unique look of these ties. Fort Belvedere works great for me.

Well constructed and well-made. Goes well with traditional seersucker for summer as well as a tattersall shirt in the winter. It should be noted that it is more fragile than a normal silk tie and should be handled with care.

Purchased this very tie, and today the tie arrived, carefully wrapped with tissue paper, and boxed. I had also ordered a tie bar, very elegant as well. The photo does not do this tie justice. The tie is far more beautiful than what I had anticipated. I will wear both the tie and the tie bar with a full double-breasted Navy blazer this very Sunday at church. The bronze orange is the tie I would like to order next. Raphael will treat you well, and make you look better than you are. What is there not to like?

Elegance can be easily attained! :) Thank you for supporting Gentleman's Gazette. A boutonniere can also complete the outfit. Have you checked our collection of boutonnieres?
