First, high-grade feeling. A good tie will naturally use silky, soft, and high-grade silk materials.

Second, the tie knot is full and three-dimensional.

These two points are the biggest difference between a good tie and a bad tie: fabric and lining.

Tie fabric

The fabric used for bad ties is polyester (imitation silk), which is hard, shiny, and unnatural. Good ties will use silk. Of course, silk can also be good or bad. The most important thing is that it feels smooth, not dry, not loose, and the fabric is not thick and does not look dull.

Tie lining

The lining is more professional. The lining is the skeleton of the tie. The shape of the tie and whether the knot is three-dimensional and full are directly related to the quality of the lining. A good lining should be thin, soft, and tough, easy to knot, but can restore the original state.

To compare the lining in the tie, I ruthlessly opened the tie bought with a “huge sum of money”. There is no area. A closer look can clearly see that the shirt on the left is thinner and tighter, and the lining on the right is thicker and looser.

The lining of Drake’s tie is different from that in front. Although it looks thick and soft, the knot is full and three-dimensional enough.

It’s hard for ordinary people to judge this. The simplest way to teach you is to tie a tie knot. Can you achieve the desired effect and experience whether it’s easy to tie an inverted triangular three-dimensional full tie knot?
