Vittorio J's newest 'Select Series' tie collection is a true story of turning lemons into lemonade: the set only exists because of a factory error. The ties are three-fold silk but were accidentally labeled as seven-fold, a mistake that caused production to halt after only 85 ties had been produced.

The new series features the usual Vittorio J trademarks such as saddle stitching, old world Italian craftsmanship, and a high-quality NAPOLI + TELA lining, plus it has updated patterns and a slimmer profile of only 3.5". But what really makes this line special is that of the 85 pieces in existence 90% of them are one-of-a-kind items and no pattern is repeated more than twice. Interested? 35 of the special ties have already been purchased by a private collector but the remaining 50 are available while supplies last via Mary Theresa Sciandra, owner of Regal Threads. $125 - $175.
