Product Insights
Blick's Solid Oxford Tie, a 100% silk necktie at 89 CAD, undercuts comparable Brooks Brothers with a deliberate 9 cm (3.5-inch) blade that is a quarter-inch wider than standard, enhancing fluid drape and pairing with classic notch and wider peak lapels. The silk's natural friction keeps the knot tight and dimple defined, while its natural sheen shifts with light, intensified by the width for crisp photography under event lighting. This tie, from a dedicated label exhibited at Pitti Uomo 110, reframes neckwear as personal expression rather than formal obligation, and with proper care (dry-clean only, steam for wrinkles, talc for stains, flat dry in shade), maintains color and sheen for decades.
