Prince of Wales check tie with a soft hand

Gents,

I saw a lovely PoW tie the other day in a store, with a very soft hand to it. I thought it was a wool blend, but it turned out to be 100% silk. Regrettably, it was too narrow for my tastes, but I am now on the hunt for something similar in a proper (9.5cm or more) width, or MTO.

Typically, the PoW ties I see are in a very hard, dry tightly-woven silk, so any recommendations would be gratefully accepted!

Cheers,


Bird

A little late of a reply, but Will at A Suitable Wardrobe has a couple POW ties and Shepherd's check ties in cashmere and lamb's wool. They look buttery soft.

Wool ties don't really hold their shape, however, whether that is a bug, or a feature, is personal.
