Knitted ties have a special place in a man's wardrobe. They fill the void when the invitation states "business casual" yet you wish to wear a tie.


A knitted tie adds a dash of panache, an updated fashion edge that a simple open shirt does not provide - and knitted ties are not just for men. Designers routinely feature them in their collections both for men and for women seeking a masculine look.


The Okehampton Tie is a flat-end tie and features a shaped design to provide a small neat knot. It is worked in a crisp cotton/linen yarn to enhance the texture of the reversible stitch.
