DARK BLUE 3 FOLD SARTORIAL CLASSIC SILK TIE II - White polka dot
DARK BLUE 3 FOLD SARTORIAL CLASSIC SILK TIE II - White polka dot
Description
Woven in Como from fine silk satin. Tiny white pin dots punctuate the deep dark blue satin ground at regular intervals - discreet enough to pass as solid from across the room, yet adding just enough texture to hold the eye at closer range. Cut by hand on the true bias, then assembled as a classic 3-fold. The slip stitch, bar tack and closing are finished by hand.
Color: Dark Blue
Dimensions: 148 × 8.5 cm
Pattern: White Pin Dot
Material: Sartorial silk
Composition: 100% silk
Each Lorenzi Como tie may be personalised with up to three initials, discreetly embroidered at the back, at no additional cost.

What does 3-fold construction mean?
A tre pieghe tie is made by folding the silk three times on itself without internal canvas or lining. The body and drape come entirely from the silk. This construction produces a softer, more natural knot than a lined tie.
How does a 3-fold tie differ from a 7-fold?
A 3-fold uses less silk and results in a lighter tie with a slimmer profile. A 7-fold uses a larger square of silk folded seven times, giving more body and weight. Both are unlined; the 3-fold is more versatile for daily wear.
What knot works best with a 3-fold tie?
A Four-in-Hand knot. The lighter construction of a tre pieghe tie produces a naturally asymmetric, slightly rolled knot that sits well in most collar shapes. Avoid a full Windsor — it overwhelms the silk.
Is this tie fully handmade?
Yes. The silk is cut on the bias in Como, folded by hand, and closed with a slip stitch. There is no machine sewing in the construction. The bar tack and keeper loop are hand-finished.
Care
This piece is crafted from pure silk or silk satin and finished by hand. To preserve its drape, lustre and shape over time:
- Dry clean only is recommended
- Avoid machine washing or soaking in water
- Do not bleach
- Do not tumble dry
- If needed, steam gently or iron on very low heat on the reverse side, avoiding direct pressure on hand-finished edges and seams
- After use, let the piece rest flat, loosely folded or gently rolled, away from direct sunlight and heat sources
- Do not store it tightly compressed, to protect the fabric and the hand-rolled details
With the right care, the fabric will keep its depth, and the piece will age with quiet character.

3 folds or 5 folds
3 folds - the classic Italian construction. Silk folded three times on itself: fluid drape, defined knot, soft structure. The tie you'll wear most.
5 folds - the rarer craft. Five folds, no interlining: the tie falls by the weight of silk alone. Fuller at the knot, more alive in movement. For those who seek the sartorial detail.
Both are hand-stitched in our Como atelier. Request either one by writing to us.
How to tie a tie
Four knots, from simplest to most formal: Four-in-hand, Half Windsor, Windsor, Pratt.
