This luxurious 3 fold wine self-tipped tie comes with a Garza woven silk. It's hand made in Italy with silk from the Como region of Italy. Some manufacturers may use a synthetic solid alternative fabric for the tipping as it’s not on show, but Franckino Sartoria ties are self-tipped, where the tip is made from the same material and pattern as the shell fabric. Self-tipped ties require extra fabric and detail within the construction, which is usually means a sign of higher quality during production, self tipped ties are more expensive because you need more material to finish the tie beautifully. This it makes a beautiful Ceremonial tie.
This tie is cut on the bias for added flexibility, it features a hand-stitched bar tacks while the label doubles as a keeper loop.

The necktie originated in the 17th century, during the 30 year war in France. King Louis XIII hired Croatian mercenaries who wore a piece of cloth around their neck as part of their uniform. While these early neckties did serve a function of tying the top of their jackets, but they also had quite a decorative effect – a look that King Louis was quite fond of. In fact, he liked it so much that he made these ties a mandatory accessory for Royal gatherings, and – to honor the Croatian soldiers – he gave this clothing piece the name “La Cravate” – the name for necktie in French to this day.
