Hello Aexer,

both ties and flies should be self-binding – when placed on quality. Each trained eye recognizes pre-bound ties and flies and the specimens for self-binding look much more elegant and beautiful!

The material can also give information about the quality: Most high-quality ties and flies are made of silk – but also cashmere and wool, or sometimes even leather can make high-quality accessories!

The important thing is manual work: A good tie is always sewn on the back by hand with a so-called “hollow seam” because it is also folded by hand and sewn together with the insert. This doesn’t make a machine!

In the case of flies, “individers” are considered particularly noble: Like ties, they consist of a single piece and have to be tied around the neck for each wear. They are therefore also precisely tailored to the neck width of the carrier.

But also two-piece flies can be noble, because they can also be made for self-binding. However, they are adjustable in the neck width and can be pre-bonded before carrying and kept tied for further occasions. A new binding is necessary only occasionally. They are then hardly bound by one-piece flies – provided that the shirt collar hides hooks and eyelets with which the two-piece fly is closed.

A high quality silk should feel soft and fine and not like a board! Although such a soft silk is more difficult to process, the accessory is then even more comfortable and the tie knots look particularly beautiful.

We wish you a lot of fun choosing your ties and flying and send cordial greetings,

Hello!

So I would always pay attention to the material. Silk is, for example, a very noble material. The higher the proportion in the fabric, the more logically the fly or tie.

In addition, the processing is also a feature. How do the seams look? Clean? Or frayed? Is there perhaps even a note about whether it’s manual work? This is usually also classified as high quality.

In terms of fly to tie myself, I would say that this is definitely a testament to a lot of style and elegance if you can (just like a good tie knot). But that’s exactly what the point is: if you want to wear it that way, you should definitely bind it too *can* – otherwise you only achieve the opposite.

Greetings!
