Jacquard Dot Skinny Tie

Olymp's Jacquard Dot Skinny Tie offers a woven jacquard pattern that resists peeling, fading, and cracking over years of wear, paired with a bias-cut construction that prevents twisting and keeps the tie hanging straight. Priced at 79 CAD (sale price $49.95), it sits well below the typical $75–$100 range for European silk ties. The 2.75-inch width fits contemporary lapels and standard knots, avoiding ultra-skinny territory. However, the silk fabric requires dry cleaning exclusively to preserve its shape and color, limiting care options.
