The knitted silk or ‘silk knit’ tie is an incredibly versatile item in any tie collection. With its unique texture and drape, it is immediately more relaxed than a standard tie while retaining a sophisticated edge. In a dark colour such as navy, or especially black, it becomes a classic addition to an evening suit. Some feel that the silk knit is a mere trend, however those with true taste know that it is a classic tie style that is always featured in a dapper man’s wardrobe. Since 2014, Double Monk has been working closely with an artisanal tie maker in Como, Italy to produce a small collection of fine neckties. Every detail is carefully selected: material, colour, pattern, construction, length and width. We have aimed to produce a selection of ties that is attractive and versatile, they are wonderful work ties, but are also well suited to special occasions. Above all, they are simple and classic, the basis for any tie collection.
