A men's navy tie with stag heads between diagonal stripes: a country motif for tweed suits and a fitting gift for him.
This one sets small gold-coloured stags' heads between diagonal stripes of red and white on a deep navy ground, so from a distance it reads as a classic regimental stripe and only up close reveals the stags marching across it. It is the kind of detail noticed by those who look closely, and that is rather the point.
Woven in 100% polyester and cut to around 7.5 cm at its widest and 146 cm long, it is a standard width that suits most suits and lapels and ties a well-proportioned knot. Navy is the most adaptable colour in tailoring, so it sits easily with a grey or charcoal suit, a navy blazer or a tweed jacket, over a white, pale blue or soft pink shirt.
It is a natural choice for the country calendar, from shooting lunches and point-to-points to Christmas parties, and a thoughtful gift for a father or husband who enjoys the outdoors. It also suits a winter wedding with a woodland theme. As each tie is measured by hand, allow a few centimetres of variation in the stated length.
Once knotted, the tip should just touch the top of your belt buckle. Taller men, or anyone who prefers a larger knot such as a Windsor, will use more of the length.
Match the blade width to your lapels: slimmer ties with narrow lapels, broader ties with classic tailoring. Knitted ties sit best in a simple four-in-hand knot.
Untie by reversing the knot rather than pulling the narrow end through, then hang the tie or roll it loosely so creases fall out overnight.
Spot clean or dry clean; never machine wash. Knitted ties are best rolled rather than hung, so they keep their length.

Our pieces, out in the real world.
In 1924, our grandfather, Albert Whitley, opened a small outfitter’s shop in Yorkshire. Our father, Henry, carried it forward. Today, we continue the family business with the same belief: good materials, useful things and pieces made to be worn for years.
The counter may now be a website, but the standard remains much the same. Old craft. Modern wear.
It is best not to. Braces do the belt’s job and look tidiest on their own; wearing both adds bulk at the waist. Hook braces clip onto the belt loops themselves, so leave the belt off.
Yes. Braces, bow ties and ties in matching colours make simple groomsmen sets. If you need several identical pieces, write to us before ordering and we will confirm availability.
Ties: once knotted, the tip should just touch your belt buckle; match the blade width to your lapels. Bow ties: most are pre-tied on an adjustable strap that fits most collars. Braces: clip-on styles grip the waistband of any trousers, while hook styles clip onto your belt loops, which suits jeans, chinos and cords. Dimensions are listed under Technical details.
Untie a tie by reversing the knot, then hang it or roll it loosely; knitted ties are best rolled. Store bow ties flat. Coil braces loosely rather than hanging them, so the elastic keeps its spring.
