14:05 Outfit Rundown
First off, grenadine is not the name of the material--it’s usually made with refined silk. Rather, it is a variety of open weave made of two warp (vertical) yarns twisted around the weft (horizontal) yarns that run perpendicular to them. It is also referred to as a “leno weave.” The result is a sheer fabric that is conducive to hot-weather clothing. It used to be popular for tropical garments. However, its earliest known use was in the form of black lace fabric worn in 18th-century France.
Many speculate that it originated in Grenada, the Carribean Island Country, because of the name, and presumably because it can get hot there. It has made appearances throughout Europe; but its exact origins remain a mystery. The most direct reference we have to its geographic roots is its description as an “English gauze” or “garza a giro inglese” in Italian. Giro inglese is still the name used to describe summer shirts made with the weave, and the term “grenadine” refers only to neckties.
Ties made of silk grenadine are woven exclusively in the Lake Como area of Northern Italy on historic wooden looms from the early 20th century. This mode of manufacture not only adds to the artisanal nature of the product but to its overall character (and conversational value). So, it could be also argued that it is from Italy.
A word on faux grenadine ties...
In recent years, fake grenadine ties have appeared online, capitalizing on the popularity of the real thing. These can be had quite cheaply, for under $20, and they have a similar look from afar, so they’re popular for those on a budget. If you just want some texture and don’t care if your tie is an authentic grenadine, you might settle for these.
However, the Gentleman’s Gazette upholds the general principle that it is preferable to buy better quality items that will last rather than cheapening it out in the short term. You will likely desire an authentic grenadine tie and will probably have to replace the cheap one as it wears out faster–not to mention that it will never look as splendid as the real deal. You can find premium quality grenadine ties in various colors from the Fort Belvedere Shop.
There’s a good reason why a grenadine tie is considered a staple menswear item and an essential tie for every man. Investing in grenadine ties elevates your wardrobe for the sophisticated business or casual looks.
