I perfer Knit ties over silk any day. They're very masculine. Plus I think the create a friendlier and warmer look while standing out has a unique piece, even when worn in blues. Thanks for the video!
Bin auch grade am hin und her schauen :) Krawatte und Einstecktuch könnte ich ein paar benötigen. Preise ab 125 $ bzw. 65 $ sind sicherlich gerechtfertigt für die sehr hohe Qualität. Ich weiß nur noch nicht ganz ob ich bereit dafür bin oder mir eher noch günstigere Sachen kaufen sollte zum Testen was mir wirklich gefällt. Bei der knit tie in rust orange könnte ich aber bald schwach werden :D
Die ist sehr vielseitig, besonder zur kalten Jahreszeit, aber auch problemlos mit seersucker oder Fresco tragbar. ab $250 verschicken wir versandkostenfrei weltweit ;)
Gentleman's Gazette Danke für die Rückmeldung. Da ich meistens nicht ganz so formal angezogen bin würde sie mir sehr gut gefallen, harmoniert auch toll mit meinen andern Kleidungsstücken die ich gerne mag. Ein Einstecktuch und vielleicht ein boutenier wären noch toll. Kostenloser Versand sollte kein Problem werden :) Viel Erdolg!
Knit ties, or just flat end ties in general, are really classy looking in my opinion. They're the right blend of dressy but casual. I've swapped to the flat end ties pretty much entirely and like it much better.
This was a great video. Thank you Raphael. In years past I would walk right past the knit ties. But now I'm very interested in them. I don't wear suits or blazers very often,....but I'm hoping a knit tie would work well with just a button down shirt inside a V-neck sweater. I feel it would dress it up a bit, yet I could still wear dark washed jeans and monk straps.. Or maybe that's too casual an outfit for a ANY kind of tie. Not sure. I will check out the Fort Belvedere ties... Thanks again.
Thank you Murad. I actually did pick up one knit tie so far. It was a pale blue/gray. It does look pretty good, but wish that I would have gone a bit darker with my first knit tie. I like the Fort Belvedere ties...but have not bought one just yet. I will purchase the ties with some sock I want to buy, there. But yes....those casual knit ties DO actually work with dressy dark washed jeans.
Dear Sven, I absolutely love your videos. In my humble opinion they have always been some of the highest quality content of their genre available to view. Whilst, of course, respecting your need to make a living please don’t get drawn towards the “ infomercial / snake-oil ” style offerings that are becoming all too prevalent on line these days. The need to publicise your company is obvious but how many times do we need to be reminded in each video? I hope my comments haven’t caused any offence, that certainly wasn’t my intention. I look forward, as always, to your next instalment. Yours most sincerely, Al.
You'd be surprised. Many people who frequent our website do not know that we also have a shop with Fort Belvedere offerings. Of course, if you bought items from us, we could advertise it less Albert ;)
I think the way he does it is very natural and related to topics he’s covering. Also, he is filling niches in the market with great quality products. To me, it doesn’t feel like the in-your-face type of advertising such as when TH-camrs have sponsors and they’re like “go and order X now.”
Another top-grade video. Thanks for expanding my appreciation of classic style and continually giving fantastically useful advice. I wish you were around when I was 15-- think of all the money and time I could have saved. BTW- love the suit- would love to see it in a future vid when the alterations and mending are complete.
Haha I was just going to comment that those pants would look better tapered and maybe with a two inch cuff. I really like what you put together for outfits. I don't really like dressing up but when I do it I gotta do it right. I was always curious about the knitted ties. I remember wearing them as a kid. Thanks for the video.
Raphael, Nice video as always! Why don't you do a guide on Harrington jacket and safari jacket? Cheers! Lieber Raphael, das Video ist super! Können sie ein Video über das Harrington Jackett and das Safari Jackett machen? Vielen Dank! (Sorry for my poor German, I am still at A2 level)
Hello Herr Schneider. I have been a follower of the channel for many months now. I have gained a lot of knowledge and terminology concerning classic menswear BUT, like yourself my mother tongue is german. So now I know all of these terms in English but for many of them I don't know the German equivalent. Can you think of a solution for this problem other than looking up every single word in the dictionary?
zoukatron yeah but the point is that, differently from a standard tie, a knit tie has a thick composition, that may be in contrast with the thin and solid tie bar
I think you looked stylish as usual, Raphael. I was, however, curious to know if you were wearing any watches or cufflinks. Maybe I would wear a boutonniere if I must add something. Id like to add to the video that a knit tie is the best friend of a college student or anyone surrounded by people in casual wear.
Nice video Raphael! Helped me clear some doubts about these ties. I'm planning to get some from Ascott and use them with some tweed jackets and vests, and a white jacquard slim shirt, but I'm afraid they will not match if I used them with a decent pair of black ultra slim jeans (CKs, for example) and some Dr. Martens Jadon boots. Planning to make a statement (contrasting somewhat-close-to-formal with informal), but I don't know if knit ties are suitable for such jeans or boots... The tie maker's aim for more elegant audiences does not help neither (if such a thing makes sense if talking about matching pieces, pardon my ignorance), so I'm kinda dubious about my planned outfits, despite how much I am in love with these ties, they would certainly help with the informal tone of it. Cheers!
You mentioned that tweed suits start to wear between the thighs. That has happened to mine...looks terrible now...is it worth the cost of repair or time to chuck the pants?
Sir, I love the suit. The ensemble works very well together. I'll have to reference to the 50's song about blue suede shoes but they do work very well with the suit. :-)
Hey, I was just wondering your opinion on the wierd tie knots like the Elderidge, Trinity, Aperture, etc. should people wear them? If so, when would it be appropriate and what materials would suit them?
I would love you advice on an outfit I am planning on wearing to my wife's boss' house for a dinner party. I am planning on wearing a pink shirt, navy blue knit tie, navy chinos, brown belt, brown shoes and a brown band watch with a green face. Terrible combination or something you think would look nice?
El crujido de la corbata no se oye en la version traducida, pero el material es de buena calidad y preciso. Le pregunto al equipo de GG ¿Harán una guía de los Nobucks o Zapatos Blancos en la moda masculina? 👍
Yes, the date this year overlaps with my wife's birthday and we always travel then. This year we'll be in Park City on the slopes. I hope I can make it next year as both Aaron and Antonio as well as many of the speakers are good friends!
Watching you mix and match your attire is so inspiring and satisfying! Great job!
I find that knit ties are really underrated.
Ironic how the most versatile accessories are the most underrated.. People just go full cliché mode and ignore less formal garments.
That saxophone & drum riff really perks up My mood!
My dad had some knit ties in his closet about a decade ago. I made fun of them and I think my mom donated them all. Now I wish I'd inherited them...
Probably... I never saw him wear them so that sounds about right.
I perfer Knit ties over silk any day. They're very masculine. Plus I think the create a friendlier and warmer look while standing out has a unique piece, even when worn in blues.
Thanks for the video!
That suit is 👌 Great pick up
I am so delighted I ordered that stunning magenta tie, cannot wait :)
Danke Rapahel!!! Ich habe eine Krawatte von Fort Belvedere gekauft und bin sehr angenehm überrascht!
I am glad you are positively surprised about your Fort Belvedere tie :)

Great information as usual. Thanks for the combo ideas.
Knit tie, chinos, and my Oxford shirt is my go to business casual work clothes.
I just bought my first quality knit tie and I fell in love. My next one needs to come from Fort Belvedere.
Never knew knit ties exist! So comfy!
Compliments for your tweed suit and odd vest combination.
Great video. I am still trying to become comfortable with wearing a knit tie.
Getting my first knit tie from Aklasu Ties in the mail soon. I'll keep this video in mind when I put build my outfits around it!

Anthony Johnson if you get the colours with the sweater and knit tie right, they’d go with jeans and monk straps!

Lieber Raphael,
das Video ist super! Können sie ein Video über das Harrington Jackett and das Safari Jackett machen?
Vielen Dank!
(Sorry for my poor German, I am still at A2 level)
Great video! Can you do a video on best ways to tie a knitted tie and lengths etc.

Danke Raphael, super video.
Two silk worms had a race
They ended up in a ...
TIE
LMFAO!😂
lol
Thank You
You are welcome! :)
Woulde you suggest a tie bar with a knit tie?
If you need a tie bar or clip to help keep control of your tie, then of course wear one.
zoukatron yeah but the point is that, differently from a standard tie, a knit tie has a thick composition, that may be in contrast with the thin and solid tie bar
I see no reason why a tie bar or tie tack would not work with a knit tie. If the tie is too thick for a tie bar, then I would recommend a tie tack.
I wear it with a tie bar. Rose gold with either navy or burgundy.
Please, do some videos on quality Pomades.
I think you looked stylish as usual, Raphael. I was, however, curious to know if you were wearing any watches or cufflinks. Maybe I would wear a boutonniere if I must add something.
Id like to add to the video that a knit tie is the best friend of a college student or anyone surrounded by people in casual wear.
I'm thinking a knit tie could also be worn with a brownish hounds tooth blazer as well.
Nice video Raphael! Helped me clear some doubts about these ties.

When will there be another live q and a? I really enjoyed those!
You mentioned that tweed suits start to wear between the thighs. That has happened to mine...looks terrible now...is it worth the cost of repair or time to chuck the pants?
Cri = scream or if it's used like dernier cri then in mean vogue
What is the best knot for knit ties?
Sir, I love the suit. The ensemble works very well together. I'll have to reference to the 50's song about blue suede shoes but they do work very well with the suit. :-)
Hey, I was just wondering your opinion on the wierd tie knots like the Elderidge, Trinity, Aperture, etc. should people wear them? If so, when would it be appropriate and what materials would suit them?
Hi Raphael. Nice video. For a corduroy suit or tweed jacket and flannel pants combo, is it better to go with a silk knitted tie or wool knitted tie?
I would love you advice on an outfit I am planning on wearing to my wife's boss' house for a dinner party.
I am planning on wearing a pink shirt, navy blue knit tie, navy chinos, brown belt, brown shoes and a brown band watch with a green face.
Terrible combination or something you think would look nice?
How did it Go?
Maybe you could add cuffs to the trouser
Not enough material left
sven you are incredibly well dressed. I am truly fascinated.
When are those vests gonna be for sale? I know you are working on them.
El crujido de la corbata no se oye en la version traducida, pero el material es de buena calidad y preciso. Le pregunto al equipo de GG ¿Harán una guía de los Nobucks o Zapatos Blancos en la moda masculina? 👍
Could you wear a tie bar with a knit tie, if so, what kind?
Juha-Pekka Huikuri way too busy man choose one
Could you make a video on how to dress as a teen, not like suits and blazers and ties, but sweaters, jeans, chinos. shirts, polos, etc. for teens
+John Blanke No, that's not our niche
What color tie for a flannel, single breasted, two button, dark maroon colored suit?
Hahah I noticed the boot cut but you pulled it off well
Cri de la Soie ASMR please
But whatever you do don't step on his blue suede shoes
He should teach a masterclass on being a gentleman.
Wear 'em in . . . Winter❗
Got it. 👌
(L❤️VE your collection.
B.t.w.,What accent is that❓) 🤔
You will want those pants with turn ups, yes ?
it seems that you won't participate at MENFLUENTIAL 2018 , si that true ?
Yes, the date this year overlaps with my wife's birthday and we always travel then. This year we'll be in Park City on the slopes. I hope I can make it next year as both Aaron and Antonio as well as many of the speakers are good friends!
I thought knit ties were god awful until I purchased one (okay four).
I need someone's opinion about my outfits.
Everyone who want to see them - please leave a email.
👍👍👍👍🌈💖
Glad ur tapering those trousers at the bottom. Boot cut looks ugly
Your website is outrageously over priced, $130 for a knit tie ?!?!
Make a video about people who lose weight and have to throw away their entire tailored wardrobe.
