The necktie collection “Somerset” is truly a classic British neck tie. Two narrow stripes in traditional regimental colors lie on a very fine ribbed background. As all classic British neck ties, the series “Somerset” is made from finest Mogador Silk which gives the tie a unique “Royal” character.
This entire necktie selection is also available in extra long length. XL sized neckties are 61” long (compared to 58” in normal length ties), and they are especially made for taller men or men with larger than normal neck sizes. As a general rule: If you are above 6 foot and 3 inches, you will be right for extra long ties. Simply order the ties in normal length and leave a message during check-out telling us how many extra long, and how many normal sized British neck ties for each collection you will need.
Classic diagonal stripes, traditional colors, and old-fashion fabrics typically characterize British Neck Ties. When wearing British stripes neck ties, it is important to match the tie, and the tie knot to the rest of your outfit. Great are button down collar shirts that are made from slightly more coarse linen type fabric. Suits in navy blue, olive green, and brown are also excellent. Not only matching 2-piece suits will work well with British neck ties. Blazers made from a fabric with hounds-tooth, herringbone, or “country-club” checkered patterns are also excellent matches for British neck ties.
