Live on the fringe. A wool tie like this one is really wonderful for colder weather… this one’s got a traditional Blackwatch tartan pattern and equally traditional (but slightly more unusual) fringed edges. It's made in Ireland just for us in our forever-go-to 8cm width: not too skinny, not too fat, and designed to sit in perfect harmony with both the lapel of our jackets and the length of our shirt collars.
