The silk grenadine tie is so-called for its distinctively textured weave. It’s typically (though not exclusively) manufactured in solid colors. The value of the grenadine tie is that its solid color makes it easy to pair with busier shirts and coats, and its texture gives it visual interest. This makes the grenadine the perfect jack-of-all-trades tie, particularly in simple colors like black, navy and burgundy. Many designers make grenadines from time to time, but you can reliably find them at J. Press, Paul Stuart and Turnbull & Asser. For a similar price (but a longer wait), they can be ordered bespoke from Sam Hober, who will make them to your length & width specifications.
