This tie is crafted from silk and cotton Mogador, a distinctive, tightly constructed fabric traditionally appreciated in fine neckwear for its balance of formal elegance, structure and tactile character. The composition of 65% silk and 35% cotton creates a surface that feels drier and more substantial than that of a conventional pure silk tie: silk provides depth of colour, refinement and restrained lustre, while cotton contributes body, stability and a firmer hand.
The jacquard construction creates the pattern directly within the fabric through the interlacing of the yarns, producing a sophisticated micro-texture whose complexity becomes increasingly apparent at close range. The contrast between the dark ground and the minute lighter details gives the surface a subtle visual vibration: from a distance, the tie appears restrained and almost solid, while closer inspection reveals the richness and precision of the weave. This dual character makes it particularly appealing to those who appreciate discreet accessories with genuine textile depth.
Mogador is also distinguished by its dry, compact and subtly granular hand, markedly different from the fluidity and sheen of silk satin. Its structure gives the tie a confident sartorial presence and helps create a clean, stable and well-defined knot, while retaining its shape throughout wear. The 8 cm blade offers balanced proportions that sit naturally between classic tailoring and contemporary menswear.
From a styling perspective, the silk and cotton construction makes this tie exceptionally versatile. It pairs particularly well with flannel, worsted wool, tropical wool, gabardine and other matte suiting fabrics, where the texture of the Mogador introduces subtle contrast without becoming overly formal. Worn with a navy or charcoal suit, it creates a precise and sophisticated composition; combined with lightweight tweed, hopsack or more visibly textured wool, it takes on a softer and more relaxed sartorial character.
For shirting, white, pale blue and finely striped shirts provide an ideal background, allowing the microstructure of the weave to remain the focal point. Italian and semi-spread collars work especially well, while relatively simple knots such as the Four-in-Hand or Oriental complement the natural body of the Mogador without introducing unnecessary bulk.
This is a tie for those who appreciate the quality of a fabric before the prominence of a pattern: understated at first sight, yet remarkably rich in its construction, handle and interaction with light. Made in Italy in keeping with the traditions of fine Italian neckwear and Como's textile heritage, it offers a particularly refined interpretation of the jacquard tie, with silk and cotton working together to achieve an elegant balance of formality, texture and wearability.
