I was disappointed in the quality of ties prior to shopping your site. Much better quality and selection than most men's stores . I will keep shopping your store for quality items.

I Have recently purchased this madder tie (9 cm) after my wife had made a beautiful gray/white, Italian cotton, almost half houndstooth patterned shirt for St.Valentines Day ( yes, lucky me!). I had not worn a tie from Fort Belvedere before and I don't wear ties very often, as I had in the past. A couple of observations I will note. The carriage box for the tie is beautiful (I had received socks on the past in a similar box): well constructed and excellent for storage. The fabric for the tie is excellent with a nice feel , as described in Sven"s (or someone's) general note regarding the tie. The color is somewhat muted but with depth and perfect for the tie; the pattern was intricate, well defined and beautiful. The tie length (regular for me at 5"10") was good, and the four-in-hand knot worked well with a spread collar. I like the tie hold in back, substantial. The weight of the tie is high quality and internal construction seemed quality. I bought the tipped tie model and again quality was very good. Of interest is the stitch used for the back seam of the tie: made with a Kelly green silk threat (seems substantial) and a basting stitch. The basting stitch was a surprise to my wife and I, given the remote possibility to the threat breaking and totally unraveling because of the nature of the stitch used. My Brioni ties are constructed with a slip stitch which is much more sturdy but those ties cost twice as much. I'm not necessarily making a judgement good or bad, just observation. The tie is made in Vietnam but presumed Italian woven silk, so the construction, which is very high quality, is just different. The madder tie story is interesting and I could see myself purchasing another of these madder ties. As an extra, I received a number of compliments about the tie, and shirt, when we went out to dinner on St. Valentine's Day. I fell the tie was well with the price.

Beautiful tie, muted red like in the pics. Ties very nicely in a half-Windsor. Already had someone ask me where he can get one!
