A tie is a long piece of cloth worn around the neck, under a collar and tied to the front with a knot. There are many different plaid tie knots for you to explore and perfect. Plaid ties are made in pure wool fabric cut on the bias to show the maximum amount of the pattern possible.
Wondering how to style your plaid tie? There are so many options of what to wear with a plaid tie. Co-ordinate or contrast your plaid tie with a plain colored shirt, or mix and match your plaids or patterns for a bolder look. If you aren't teaming your plaid tie with a kilt, for the bottom half go casual with jeans, chinos or shorts teamed with your favorite plaid tie loosely knotted. Add a blazer for the evening. For a more formal look so many plaids include subtle base colors such as black, blue and grey, perfect to accent a suit and show off your Scottish heritage.
The tip of your tie should just about touch your belt buckle. Getting the right length is important, as ties that are too short or too long don’t look good. If your tie’s not the right length, just untie it and start again. Practice makes perfect!
Our wool plaid ties should be hand washed, in lukewarm water and using a gentle laundry detergent specifically designed for wool products.
Taking care to remove your tie will also extend it's lifecycle. Gently undo the knot, if you pull too hard, you’ll shorten the life of your tie. Once the tie is untied, hang it up, or roll it loosely in a small drawer compartment.
