Product Insights
This 1.5-inch ultra-slim black twill tie from Le 31, made of 100% silk twill with a matte sheen, offers a structured drape that resists curling and a durable, wrinkle-resistant weave. Priced at $29 CAD as an exclusive Simons house brand, it provides the slimmest standard width in modern neckties, best paired with slim-fit suits featuring narrow lapels and suited to slender builds, narrow collars, and creative or fashion-forward occasions. The main tradeoff is its highly specific fit requirements: it demands slim proportions in both the wearer and the attire, while its ultra-slim width necessitates a four-in-hand knot and a 1-inch tie bar for proper styling.
