Finely Ribbed Tie

Le 31's Finely Ribbed Tie, priced at $29 CAD, is a 100% polyester satiny weave entry-tier tie that offers a smoother and softer hand feel than standard polyester ties, though its drape is not silk-like. The fine ribbed texture adds friction to keep knots secure, making it a value option beneath Le 31's wool ($49) and silk ($99) tiers.
