The long story of a special tie.

Good evening. I’m Matsushima from cantáte.

Today, I’m talking about the Atto Vannucci that I love dearly.

I have also written a blog post before,

if you like, please read that as well.

 

A necktie is

and it is a very small presence among clothing.

Nor does it have the surface area of a jacket,

It does not become the centerpiece like a coat.

Yet, strangely enough, it is also a place that catches the eye.

The neck.

it occupies a central place in an outfit.

Simply by tying a necktie,

it can bring an outfit together—or throw it off.

It is small, but

it is an item with surprisingly significant influence.

When choosing a necktie,

Most people probably look first at the color and pattern.

Of course, that is important too.

However, a necktie also has

There is another important aspect.

That is the “construction”.

The rolled edge is hand-finished while kneading it with the fingers. Because it is not ironed, it has a soft texture.

hand-sewn bar tacks, commonly known as gli occhi, and a loose thread

In the world of neckties,

sette piegheorquattro piegheor

there is such a term.

Sette pieghe uses no interlining,

it is made by folding the fabric over itself.

Lightweight and soft,

It is a construction well known among tie enthusiasts.

you can see the interlining peeking out.

 

On the other hand,quattro piegheis

and is constructed with an interlining to stabilize its structure.

It holds its shape more neatly when tied,

makes it easier to create a well-balanced knot.

The necktie we are introducing today as well,

In fact, it was not made this way from the beginning.

I learned this from Kaga of Atto Vannucci.

“We had initially planned to propose a sette pieghe construction. However, considering the balance between the shirt’s tie space and the knot when the tie is tightened, we settled on a quattro pieghe construction with an interlining.”

When you tie the necktie,

creates a knot.

that the size and three-dimensional quality of the knot, and how neatly it sits at the neck。

Taking those aspects into consideration,

For this fabric and design,

This structure creates a cleaner finish.

Apparently, that was the reasoning.

Furthermore, this tie

There is another interesting detail.

“Neckties are usually cut into three pieces to make them, but this tie has a two-piece construction because the small blade is finished in a solid color. This is designed so that the solid section appears to have no stitching.”

A combination of regimental stripes and solid.

 

When you look at the back of the tie,

you can certainly appreciate how it is made.

Unless someone points it out,

may go unnoticed.

But these subtle differences in construction

it creates the character of a tie.

Although it is ready-to-wear,

somewhat an atmosphere like that of a bespoke tiewhat I sense is

it may be because of this kind of attention to detail.

And as I looked at this tie,

Another thing I found interesting was

the culture behind it.

this stripe

as it is called, the regimental tie,。

Originally,

they originated as stripes representing British regiments and clubs.

In other words, British tie culture.

However, the maker of this tie is

Italy。

Even details like these labels being woven labels are delightfully meticulous.

 

Italian ties

its soft construction, with a hint of sensuality.

And what makes the fabric even more interesting is

The material is 100% silk。

Yet it has a crisp texture somewhat reminiscent of linen.

That is because the fabric was specially made for us, inspired by the fabric of Japanese kimono.

“The material is silk. It is woven with a distinctive, nostalgic atmosphere, inspired by the fabric of Japanese kimono.”

 

There are slight variations on the surface,

It has a somewhat nostalgic character.

British regimental stripes.

Italian tailoring.

there is a fabric inspired by Japanese kimono.

when you think about it this way,

Within a single tie,

it brings together many different cultures.

a tie is a very small item, but

Once you understand this background,

It feels as though it subtly changes how you look.

there is just a small piece of fabric at the neck.

But within it,

it holds a surprisingly long history and culture.

A tie is small, but

More interesting than you might think.

This is a tie whose difference you can feel once you wear it.
