Eyewear, shoes, ties... these are the essential elements of a gentleman's style and lifestyle. They convey the thoughts and spirit of the maker, creating a sense of space to cherish and keep just for oneself. Even as times change, I don't want to abandon such discerning tastes.

ASCOT for FAIRFAX
Knit tie 11,880 yen
■ Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building 1st Floor = Dress Shirts & Ties

When it comes to classic men's styles, people tend to focus on Britain and Italy. But did you know that there's a long-established knit tie manufacturer in Germany? This particular tie is a special order from Fairfax, a company that has been a driving force in Japan's tie culture, for the Ascot brand of Schwarz, a company founded in 1908. It's a rare item produced on an old-fashioned knitting machine that is the only one of its kind left in the world.

Although production efficiency is low, these knit ties, slowly knitted on British knitting machines from the 1980s, have a tightly woven texture, and when you hold them, you can directly feel the luxurious touch of silk. You might have the impression that regular knit ties stretch out easily, but you don't have to worry about that with these, and they are also appealing because they are easy to tie knots and dimples in.

Incidentally, Schwarz is a manufacturer that has been producing OEM products for world-renowned luxury brands for many years. Their quality and style are among the best in the world. The textured weave gives it a three-dimensional feel when tightened. I think it's very stylish to keep such a personal pleasure to yourself.
