Ties

At John Crocket, all ties are made from 100 per cent silk, in the classic width of 8 centimetres, which suits most shirt collars and jacket lapels. The silk gives the tie its subtle sheen and ensures that the knot sits neatly.

Paisley is the focus of the range, alongside club-style stripes, floral designs, medallion patterns and plain ties. The patterns range from understated tone-on-tone to strong contrast, and many designs come in several colourways, so you can match tie, shirt and suit to one another.

Silk cannot be machine-washed. Have stains dry-cleaned, undo the knot after wearing and store the tie hanging or loosely rolled so that the fabric can smooth out again.

Matching silk bow ties, pocket squares and cravats are available in the same material, so that you can combine patterns and colours. In our shop on Friesenstraße in Cologne, you can handle the ties and hold them against a shirt and jacket.
