Vittorio J Select Series Limited Edition Ties

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.

Hand-Numbered Limited Edition Ties from Vittorio J

Filed under: Apparel, Men's Style

Those who prefer only the most exclusive items will be charmed by the new line of hand-numbered, limited edition ties from Vittorio J.

The new Exclusive Collection has over 100 styles, but only five of each has been made. Each one is cut, folded and hand-sewn in Naples by artisanal craftsmen, and they feature a hand-made bar tack and Ossiticina Oil, which gives the ties "strength and durable luster."

The Exclusive Collection incorporates high yarn count English silk and double-blend fabric lining (known as NAPOLI + TELA), along with double slip-stitching to prevent wrinkles and protect the fabric.

Another exciting feature:
"The ties include an elastic thread stitched through the interior, and an exposed loop is accessible through an opening at the wider end. If the tie becomes wrinkled, it can be straightened out with a simple tug on the loop, potentially adding years to its lifespan."

The Exclusive Collection can be found at Imparali Custom Tailors for the very reasonable price of $125 - $300.

Vittorio J Ties for Bespoke

Vittorio J is an NYC fine tie designer who has created an exclusive, limited collection for the Michael Andrews Bespoke store on the Lower East Side.

The Bespoke collection is made entirely by hand in New York - rare indeed! - with 100% English printed silk which reportedly comes from the same high-end fabric houses used by Kiton and E. Marinella. The ties are retailing for $69.

We find the designs playful and eye-catching without being over-the-top, perfect for the gentleman with a whimsical streak. The set of ties at right features tiny skulls and crossbones - a subtle rebellion.

If you like any of the ties in this gallery, you'd best call custom clothier Michael Andrews Bespoke today; no more than fifteen of each tie has been created.
