When you think of luxury fabrics, silk is always at the top of the list. At Mitchell Roberts they design and manufacture their own line of men’s silk ties, which gives the customer the opportunity to have superior quality items at a substantial savings. We got the chance to review one such item from their collection.
This particular tie is the Black Textured Slim Silk Tie which is, well, noticeably textured. The silk is woven in a diagonal pattern, which creates a heathered fabric that allows it to have more dimension and texture than a traditional silk necktie. Also, the slim design of this Mitchell Roberts tie gives it a distinctively modern appeal. Comparable silk neck ties can run anywhere from $79.00 to over $200. At $34.95 for this luxury item, you certainly cannot beat the price! That said, there is an almost rough feel to it because of the design lifting.
As far as what to pair this tie up with, you can go for the classic white button-down shirt, a black one for more of a monochromatic look, or step totally out of the box and wear it with a deep purple or cranberry red dress shirt. The heathered texture is more interesting than a solid tie, but it also is not as bold as a stripe or large pattern. It is a subtle way to modernize your look. With the savings that you will have from not purchasing the higher priced silk neck ties, you can afford to buy more than one dress shirt and have multiple ways to wear your new Mitchell Roberts necktie.
If you are a “solid” kind of guy, then Mitchell Roberts makes the same tie in a gorgeous red. At $34.95 each, why not limit yourself and buy both?
