Tartan Neck Tie – 100% Pure New Wool – Made In Scotland
What our ties are not:
Firstly, we do not sell imported ties made from synthetics and mixed fibres being passed of as Scottish products by the means of cleverly worded ads such as….'Direct From Our Scottish Factory/Shop/Warehouse' and omitting in the description of where the tie is manufactured. Unfortunately and sadly this is what some sellers are doing.
Secondly, there is a lot of different qualities of ties. There is what we call the “Budget Tie” – made from a cheaper woollen yarn spun as a single thread then woven in a plain weave and although this tie might appear to be the business on a photograph, it is very light and has difficulty holding its shape, very quickly looking creased and shoddy after being worn just a few times.
What our ties are:
All of our ties are made for us by “Lochcarron of Scotland” the world’s biggest producer of superior quality pure wool tartans. The ties are approximately 45" in length.
Unlike the “Budget Tie” the making of this tie is a world apart. Starting with the spinning of the yarn; this is a two ply (2/32s) worsted spun woollen yarn that is then woven by the weaver in a 2 & 2 twill weave. This gives the fabric body and strength while still remaining pliant and draping perfectly. After weaving it is then given to the local finishers where it is put through all the finishing processes i.e. scouring/washing, milling, cropping then “super sett”. This process presses the cloth under huge pressure while steam is forced through all the layers of cloth, this sets the fabric and ensures that it will always come back to its original shape. This is very important with tie cloth. The fabric is then cut and tailored into the ties using only top quality linings and interfacings, ensuring that the tie when worn will always look its best and given reasonable care will last a lifetime.
When you buy a tie from us you know where that tie was ‘born’ (i.e. manufactured) and should you want to buy another tie, for say a family member, that tie will be a perfect match as all our yarn used in weaving the tie is dye matched from the original standard shade. With your tie comes a brief Clan History printed on the header.
We are the most competitively priced supplier of ties of this quality and standard. Buying a tie from us means that you can have the confidence that you are buying the very best from Scotland.
