So you have an idea for a tie - a few stripes and a motif - and decide on the woven type.  We produce some sketches and you pick the one you prefer - so we are ready to go.

>Some customers think we just add the motif to the stripes - but there are no vast depots with the stripes of every colour and width ready and waiting!  We start with yarn and finish with fabric in your design.

n between this is a very technical process in which the design is transferred to a computer Jacquard which instructs the looms on the colours and designs required. Remember that not every colour is available in yarn, although the range is huge.

So the Jacquard is tested by weaving up a sample of your design and if this is OK the fabric is then completed and the ties made.

This process used to take 12 weeks and it is due to technological advances that it has been reduced - but we still have enquiries on a Monday for ties needed for a Saturday function!
