This Just In: The Knottery Blaze Orange 3” Knit Tie

I got two knit ties in the mail today from the Knottery: navy and orange. I definitely wanted and need the navy (staple) but was feeling a little pre-buyers remorse about the orange given that this thing is not in my closet yet. Those feelings are gone. This tie is beautiful. Granted it doesn’t feel as thick or silky as my Polo knits, but it makes one of the most gorgeous knit knots I’ve ever seen. Dimple and all. I’m very pleased.

I usually like my non knit ties to be 3.25” to 3.5” wide. I thought that I would like this 3” knit more than a 2.75” because it’s closer to my ideal tie width, but I was mistaken. Not that I don’t like the 3”, but I think 2.75” looks better on me. You learn something new everyday.

The Knottery Navy and Orange Knit Ties

I was initially thinking about getting the Black Watch and Camel ties from the Knottery’s new arrivals. After some consideration, I figured this would not be best. I have a camel knit tie that I rarely wear and three Black Watch ties. I think it’s more important to land a much needed staple i.e. the navy knit tie. It’s hard to pass up at this price. I’m thinking about getting the orange knit too. It’s so beautifully bright. Plus, I can wear it while I’m hunting pheasant.
