The Final Touch: THE POCKET SQUARE

Our new make the "Swing-Tie."  We've re-designed the shape of the tie that was a popular during the jazz era of 1940's and 50's. Ties worn by the likes of Ellington; Basie and Dorsey. Those ties were short and narrow. Those ties swung during the sets played by these musicians. Today we still love listening to the jazz music of that era, but we have to update the look in the tie. So, with our "Swing-Tie", we celebrate the music and style by through making our ties with archival and vintage fabrics. Made in USA and by hand. The shape is flared both front and tail end. Hand-sewn tipping.    "It Don't Mean A Thing, If Don't Have That Swing"
