Knit ties come in two basic qualities: soft and crunchy. Soft knit ties, as you can see here have a really smooth feel. They're very soft and they work well with casual outfits. On the other hand, crunchy knit ties are stiffer, they're not as smooth and when you pinch them in your hand, you can hear the cry of the silk, which is why they're called the cri de la soie. It's actually being made on a hundred-year-old machine that was originally used for sock making. Soft Knit ties, on the other hand, are made in an entirely different way. They are knit like modern socks in a round machine where you cannot see any seam in the back.
TIE KNOT. Personally, I always suggest to wear just one knot which is the four in hand knot. Simply because knit ties are thicker than regular ties and if you choose anything else, your knot gets really big and chunky.
STYLE TIPS. Originally, knit ties were casual, they were very informal and nobody would ever wear them with a suit however, today, you can wear them in any way, shape or form you desire.
On the other hand if you want to wear a suit, I would opt for solid knit ties that are a little stiffer because it just gives the whole outfit a different dimension and you can even wear them with a business pinstripe suit.
Today, I'm wearing a cri de la soie crunchy silk knit tie from Fort Belvedere and I chose it because my jacket had beige tones, is a worsted fabric which is a little bit more formal than let's say a tweed. It has peaked lapels which is also more formal than a notched lapel and this is double breasted which is more formal than a single breasted jacket. And so, I opted for the crunchy version and in brown it harmonizes well but provides enough contrast. Because the cri de la soie knit ties are stiffer, you can do things like popping your tie knot a little bit so it stands up and gives you a different look.
Overall, you can wear knit ties with any kind of outfit today unless you're wearing traditional morning wear or evening wear such as a tuxedo or white tie. Do not wear knit ties with those combinations. Tie bars and clips are sometimes a little bit more difficult to use with knit ties simply because they are so thick. If you want to use an accessory like a bar or a clip, I suggest you take the clips 'cause they give you more room to actually get underneath the shirt and over the tie without destroying the tie.
MATERIALS. Most knit ties today are made of silk for various reasons. One, silk has a beautiful luster so it looks great. Two, it really feels nice in your hand and it has the right kind of consistency for the drape and it's just overall a great fiber that's very durable. Another popular material for knit ties is wool or cashmere. It's very soft but due to its consistency and feel, it's really only suited for fall winter outfits.
Lately, we've also seen blends such as linen cotton blends, linen and wool, linen and silk. Overall, I would say only use these materials during spring summer season. The texture of knit ties is similar to grenadine ties however, it's even more pronounced and different so if you want to add another dimension to your outfits, go with knit ties with a strong texture.
One thing that;s very important for knit ties is the width. If you wear skinny lapels, you want a skinny knit tie. If you want wider lapels like this one, you'll want the wider knit tie. Also, keep in mind that knit ties are straight so if you have a seven centimeter knit tie, it's as wide on top as a nine-centimeter regular tie. Just keep that in mind when you pick the right widths for your lapels.
STORAGE. There are two ways to store your knit ties. One is to take your knit tie to simply roll it up and store it like this.Personally, I roll up all of my knit ties after I've worn them for about a day. Once the day has passed, I unroll them and just hang it on my rack like so.

These were the beginnings, and your on-screen performance improved massively. Let the new guy watch these old videos for inspiration.
I came here because I wanted to knit a silk to for my husband; and I learned a lot more than I bargained for. I love it when people are very passionate and are able to discuss the intricacies of things. Even though I am a woman and don't wear ties, I found this very interesting.
Welcome!
You have to pick a food fabric and liner, and the liner has to be cut perfectly
Have you found a pattern somewhere our did you freehand it? I also found this video planning to do the same
There are many comments about how the videos have gotten better. I agree. However, one has to admit that if this video is an example of his "early bad work", it's a very impressive start. Great quality despite the improvement in the future
5:57 *DOCTOR A TIME RIFT* 😅
I've been waiting on this for a long time!!! Thank you, sir :D
The Killer His Vanilla You're welcome! If you want to see something, let us know and chances are we will do it!

Thank you for this detailed video on knit ties. Can you please do a video on "Grenadine Ties".
I just got my first crunchy hand sewn knit tie by Todd Snyder, love it.
I loved the french touch ^^ le cri de la soie^^ tres bien monsieur, excellent Video thanks.
Good informative video.
I learned a lot, .......Thanx👍🏻
I just started with the knitted ties, one in silk and another in line
This must have been one your early videos. It’s not bad but the production quality and Raphael’s screen presence has improved significantly.
which is the best know for this kind of knit tie?
You're way of speaking has evolved through the years, comparing this video to your more reasent.
Absolutely, it's all about getting better, but you have to start at some point.
You have been a great inspiration for me, and I've made a lot of conscious and subconscious changes lately because of that.
Wait... why you don't make the crunchy ones in the modern socks machine maker?
Awesome tips! And what's up with 5:57?
Why can’t I find an extra long knit ties ? Do they make them ?
Is it common for knit ties to not have a keeper to secure the thin end?
Hey Sven, your channel is growing and you need to as well. Here’s a great idea for you... start a Gentlemen’s Gazette clothing line. We need quality, good looking clothes at affordable prices. There are a lot of stores out there but the looks are lacking and the prices, steep.
You are the guy to get this done!
Btw, are you Brazilian? 🇧🇷
***LIKE SO SVEN CAN SEE THIS
Watching this in 2020.
He looks sharp in his facial features. Just cause you age doesn't give you an excuse to gain weight.
What tie is shown at 3:19 pls, that burgundy with navy suit?
+Jiří Kappel You can find it here www.gentlemansgazette.com/shop/ties/knit-ties?
I love Knit ties, are my favorite, I think is great for a preppy style, what do you think?
Hmmm… Quite silly question but still: is it real to shorten a knit tie a bit? I tried to play with knots, I tied the Prince Albert knot but since the tie itself isn't wide (it isn't skinny too-I suppose it's just on the _slim_ side) this looked not so satisfying. Anyway I love this tie and this was a present so don't tell me to get rid of it and buy a new one. ;)
where I can find the crunchy styles tie , do u know the wedside, by the way very good information , u are awesome detail guy
We offer them: www.gentlemansgazette.com/shop/accessories/ties/knit-ties
Those are probably the bees knees of ties, but jesus, that sticker shock.
What about wool knit ties
I have the same tie, can be washed by hand.
Regards!
Hi, how can I get a hardcopy of that e-Book please?
Tjay Ibrahim At this point, there is no hard copy, sorry.
I was rather tempted by a plum-purple kind of colour knit tie recently, but decided against it because it was made of terylene. Was a lovely colour, but the knowledge that it was a polyester fibre turned me off.
^ This is not to say I don't already own knit ties, I'm just highly a recent buying circumstance.
Thanks for the video, at any rate!
just ordered wool ones
Just bought a Liverano & Liverano tie for £150!
I'm always confused about how formal silk is. I never wear a suit but I always wear a sport coat and a tie, and so far I've been very careful to choose only ties with thick or semi thick textures and materials, and if silk is to be used I only use blends. Where exactly is the line drawn for when a tie becomes too formal to wear casually?
I purchased this tobacco brown tie and love the color, unfortunately the knit pattern looks different then the pattern tie he is wearing. It looks like a much finer knit and I don’t quite like the knit pattern.
What's the best knot for a kit tie?
Hello Good day
I'm from Ghana
I need a manufacturer of these ties
I would like to import them
Half Windsor knots aren't hard to do with these ties
FOR YEARS

knit ties are better than silk
I've never seen a knit tie that I liked. It always looks like someone put a sock around their neck.
I agree. I've never liked knit ties either.
I was looking for videos about real Scottish wool toes. This ain’t it.

Should of actually made a tutorial on how to tie it step by step smh waste
