An other week an other review, this time I’m taking a closer
look at the newest addition in my tie collection.
Burgundy isn’t a color I would usually wear, I’m rather bleu
biased. Buying a tie outside of my ‘blue comfort zone’ seemed like an easy way
to work different colours into my wardrobe. The classic and timeless design of
the Drake’s tie made it a no-brainer.
Once again, I was able to get a deal at The Gentlemen’s Corner during their numerous Christmas time sales although I did have to exceed
my self-imposed 50-euro’s a tie rule. Given the ties original price of € 135
and the € 57,37 I ended up paying, I’m very happy with the deal I got.
The tie has the usual Drake dimension. It’s 8 cm in width
and 147 cm in length. The manufacturer decided to use shantung silk for the
construction. This is raw kind of silk, produces a much more textured fit and
finish. Additionally, the tie has a subtle herringbone pattern.
Personally, I love the look of the tie. The closer you get to
it, the more details and texture you’ll see.
