Silk ties historically have been popular, however, some have too high a sheen for modern tastes with a high price to match. Many people prefer the natural look of cotton or linen ties to silk but unfortunately cotton material often wrinkles easily and can become stiff from dying, printing or other chemical treatments applied. To create a more optimal fabric, we’ve developed a unique and exceptional woven twill fabric made from recycled plastics that mimic the hand and softness of a silk tie but without the excessive sheen. The result is a durable, sustainable, and ideal fabric for the perfect modern tie. The subtle texture of the weave compliments the vibrant and colorful printed designs, which enables the complete customization of Knotty Tie designs. While the outer fabric is normally what you notice, our quality neckties also have the perfect wool blend interlining that gives a necktie the right weight and provides structure to the body of the tie as it is tied and untied repeatedly.
