Five blue neckties with different textures and patterns, including solid, grid, check, and dotted designs, displayed side by side on a flat surface.

UNDERSTANDING OUR TIES

Our ties are unlike any other. Formed from three sections - the blade, gusset and under end, each woven tie is slipped by hand using bonded thread by our skilled sewers in our Gloucester workrooms.

THE LOOP

Each T&A tie has, what we call, a ‘magic loop’ of bonded thread in its blade. This allows the tie to ruche and relax back into shape no matter how many times it is pulled from the collar after a long day.

THE SILK

Our ties are made from Suffolk-woven silk and a wool blend lining, and is stitched together using strongest-ever bonded nylon thread.

DESIGN PROCESS

Each tie is designed by hand, with each inspiration not coming from passing trends, but a blend of archive designs, architecture, classic illustrations and much more.
