Handmade in USA
(Chicago, to be exact) from 100% silk. This silk is woven in Europe
at some of the best silk mills in the world. The silk fabric, shipped to
us on 28 inch rolls, is then cut and sewn by hand here in the U.S. and
made into neckties and other accessories.
Made on the longer side
of normal at 57-58 inches. The width is approximately 3 3/4 inches. As
with all truly superior neckties, ours are cut on a perfect bias (a 45
degree angle), slip-stitched by hand, and double bar-tacked. For the
keeper (that loop on the back where you tuck in the tail), we use a long
self-loop (made from the same fabric as the tie) tacked down not only on
both sides, but also stitched into the center seam for added strength and
durability.
What really
distinguishes Lee Allison neckties are their designs—they’re true
originals. We put our ideas on paper and then our mills weave our designs
into silk fabric for us, and us alone. People ask us "Where do find
your fabric?" Well, in general, we don't find it, we create it.
