This Le 31 tie from Simons' heritage brand combines an exclusive Canadian-designed jacquard pattern with a modern 2.75-inch width, offering a permanent woven depth and a fuller knot that drapes sharply—a tradeoff prioritizing this contemporary silhouette and exclusive design over heavier silk weight, and requiring professional dry cleaning.
