Bespoke ties

Gentlemen, I would be grateful for your recommendations on where I can bespeak some ties.

I know that Charvet offers this service but, as I live and work in London (and my command of French sadly stretches only to ordering a meal and a drink), I would particularly welcome recommendations of London tiemakers.

Thank you, JRLT

JRLT, perhaps Drakes could help? Will is the authority here, I think, so perhaps a note to him might help.

Bonne chance!

PS: Won't you reconsider Charvet, JRLT? My experience with them has been nothing short of perfect. Perhaps a note to M. Colban through the one of the Charvet threads might prove fruitful.

Ta,

Thank you for your recommendations Garu. I certainly intend to visit Charvet when I am next in Paris, but I have no plans to visit on business or leisure at the moment.

Drakes will do them in pairs if you ask.

Turnbull & Asser is very creative about widths and shapes as well as lengths. In London, that would be my first stop.

Some of the SR houses can get one made for you also. Dege makes their own, and I believe that A&S may have a bead on some patterns that could be made to order. And so on.

I was going to say 'How did I miss this?' But I see that it is today's issue and I haven't opened my own online copy yet!! I like the term 'English syle the way Italians see it'. The first Duke of Wellington, as a youth, used to cut his own clothes - so why couldn't one learn how to make a tie - I know that the first couple might turn out to be a hash but I am sure that it must be possible - with the right teaching and materials and patience.

That's not what it says on the cover! Am I in a time warp - have I become so retrocentric that I have slipped through some tunnel?

Dear JRLT:

How about E Marinella?

I do believe they have a branch in London as well.
