For years, a heated debate has regularly animated public opinion, newspaper columns and social networks: the state of health of the tie. Dead and buried for some, very much alive for others, the vital prognosis of this legendary accessory is more or less engaged depending on the pens and the periods. In agony or not, condemned or not by the presumed decline of the suit, we leave it to the critics to comment. On our side, there is no debate!
More than an accessory , the tie represents for Hast a certain idea of allure , which is why we wanted to reserve a place for it at the heart of our anniversary capsule collection . A strong and confident choice, embodied by this model that is both bold and refined and will spice up your casual looks and relax your formal outfits.
The tie is dead? Long live the tie .
A marvel of craftsmanship
Including a tie among the ten revisited icons on the sidelines of our ten years was a bold choice, which we wanted to highlight by taking particular care. From the pattern to the final needle stroke, each step is carried out by hand in Lombardy , near Como, in the purest Italian tradition . With its five folds, this 100% pure silk tie is a little marvel of craftsmanship that will allow you to bring panache and luster to your compositions.
As you can see, we have chosen a historic “club” pattern with colours that are as complementary as they are original. A timeless design that you can effortlessly combine with other pieces from the capsule collection as well as those that populate your wardrobe. Navy, white and light blue, its stripes stand out on a green background to which the silk brings a unique luminosity and shine .
If colours once had a meaning, displaying membership in a particular regiment, club, association or school, we have selected them here for their aesthetic power alone.
Speaking of stripes , can you tell whether they run from left to right or from right to left? If so, you probably know that this subtlety is determined from the wearer's shoulders. In this case, the stripes start from the left shoulder and "go down" to the right side; which, by the way, is typical of English ties - and by extension European ones. Across the Atlantic, our North American friends have been wearing stripes from right to left since Brooks Brothers imported the club tie in the 1920s.
Material, pattern, colors , style : you see that this accessory is still capable of the best. At Hast, we know that we don't need to convince you and this little marvel is here to attest to it.
The height of refinement
“Are you going to a wedding?”
Raise your hand if you have never heard this phrase "tie around your neck". What does it matter? Between the tie and the joke, the most corny one is not the one the joker thinks is.
For an occasion or for pleasure, wearing this accessory at the height of refinement is not at all ridiculous, quite the contrary. Just like scarves, bandanas and other neck warmers that have recently made a real comeback, the tie allows you to structure your silhouette and open up an extremely vast horizon of stylistic possibilities .
With a button-down shirt and an Ivy League-style blazer , with a dress shirt and a suit jacket for more formality, with an OCBD and a work jacket for a detonating combo, anything goes with this unfairly dreaded piece. The trick is to wear it with confidence, which is half the elegance .
How to maintain a green silk tie?
Unless you get a nasty ketchup stain in the middle, you shouldn't need to wash this club tie very often. If you do need to, it's best to do it by hand in cold, slightly soapy water.
