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.

19 Light blue, navy

This variation interprets silk and cotton Mogador through a refined two-tone micro-jacquard effect, built on a very dark ground, close to midnight blue/black, enlivened by a dense pattern of ice-blue and light-grey details. The extremely fine motif creates a vibrant, three-dimensional surface without becoming overtly decorative.

The distinctive Mogador construction enhances this interplay of colour particularly well: silk provides definition and subtle luminous reflections, while cotton contributes a drier, more compact and structured hand. The result is a fabric with a confident presence, visibly textured at close range yet remarkably understated from a distance. Light continuously changes the perception of the small contrasting details, making the surface appear alternately deeper or brighter.

The predominance of the dark ground makes this variation particularly versatile. It pairs naturally with navy, medium-grey and charcoal suits, as well as flannel and more visibly textured jackets. A white shirt emphasises its contrast and formal character, while pale blue creates a softer, more harmonious combination by echoing the subtle lighter tones within the weave.

The compact structure of Mogador also encourages a clean, stable and well-defined knot, particularly elegant with a Four-in-Hand. A distinctive choice for those who appreciate an apparently discreet tie capable of revealing textile complexity, chromatic depth and richness of detail upon closer inspection.

61 Plum Red, Blue

This silk and cotton Mogador variation combines a deep black ground with a dense plum-red microstructure, creating an intense two-tone effect with remarkable visual depth. The minute jacquard pattern extends across the entire surface and is perceived less as a conventional decorative motif than as a true textile texture: from a distance, the tie appears dark and restrained, while closer inspection gradually reveals the plum-red nuances and complexity of the weave.

The Mogador construction particularly enhances this colour combination. Silk lends depth, definition and subtle luminous reflections to the red, while cotton maintains a drier, more compact and tactile surface than conventional lustrous silk. Interwoven with the colour, black controls its brilliance and creates a deeper, more sophisticated and highly wearable shade.

The firm, subtly granular hand gives the tie a confident sartorial presence and produces a clean, compact and stable knot, particularly effective with a Four-in-Hand. The microstructure also responds beautifully to changing light, continuously shifting the balance between black and plum red and making the tie appear darker or more intense according to the viewing angle.

Stylistically, this variation pairs naturally with navy, charcoal, medium-grey and black tailoring, while also complementing flannel, tweed and worsted wool in dark brown and tobacco tones. A white shirt creates a sharper, more formal contrast; pale blue and pearl grey soften its character, while an écru shirt can emphasise the warmer dimension of the colour.

A distinctive yet restrained interpretation in which plum red is tempered by the depth of black and the structure of Mogador. Designed for those who appreciate colour without sacrificing discretion, and textile richness that reveals itself most fully upon closer inspection.

62 Grey, black

This silk and cotton Mogador variation develops a refined contrast between a black-charcoal ground and a dense microstructure in ivory and pearl-grey tones. The jacquard pattern is exceptionally fine and evenly distributed, visually becoming a continuous texture: from a distance, the tie appears restrained and almost mélange, while closer inspection reveals the complexity of the weave and the subtle chromatic contrasts across its surface.

The Mogador construction enhances this combination particularly well. Silk gives definition and controlled luminosity to the lighter yarns, while cotton contributes the dry, compact and subtly granular hand characteristic of the fabric. The result is a rich yet non-glossy surface, where light and shadow continuously emphasise the jacquard structure and create an elegant three-dimensional effect.

The substantial character of the fabric gives the tie a precise sartorial presence and encourages a clean, stable and well-defined knot, particularly effective with a Four-in-Hand. The colour contrast remains beautifully balanced within the knot, where the concentration of the fabric further enhances the depth of the darker ground.

One of the most versatile variations in the collection, it pairs particularly well with navy, charcoal, medium-grey and black tailoring, as well as flannel, tweed, hopsack and more visibly textured wools. A white shirt creates a crisp, formal contrast; pale blue or pearl grey offers a softer, more contemporary combination, while écru can complement the warmer nuances within the microstructure.

A discreet and distinctly textile expression in which the interplay between dark and light tones replaces the conventional decorative pattern, allowing the Mogador construction itself to become the defining feature. Ideal for those seeking an understated and versatile tie that reveals remarkable richness of detail upon closer inspection.
