Ties of polyester, microfiber, cotton, satin or linen may have come as a cheaper option but there is certainly nothing like a genuine silk tie.

Silk ties are season less, because the method in which pure silk is fashioned is also something which has permeated seasons and generations. Made intricately from the cocoons of silk worms for over 5000 years, silk remains a fashion statement and a symbol of exclusive luxury.

Apart from its exclusivity is its inimitable look. The drape of the silk fabric as well as its gloss is what makes it stand out from imitations. A superior quality silk tie, like those available on ccshirts.com or at the Cotton & Cotton outlets, will have no loose threads, runs or bumps. Run your fingers along the fabric to determine the tightness of the weave and feel its texture.

Hold the tie up from one end, it should not twist and turn. This tells you whether the silk was cut on bias. Turn the tie over. In a genuine silk of the highest quality there should not be any visible threads and the folds/rolls should be of the same width on each edge.
