1999 Collection Heavy Silk Tie Regimental Pattern Blue & Light Blue JD15

A journey back to the origins of a sartorial legend. In September 1999, Maurizio Talarico created his very first tie collection, defining the codes of an elegance that would go on to be chosen by the highest institutional offices. Today, to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Maison, we reopen our historical archives with the 1999 Collection: an exclusive re-edition of the most iconic patterns from that era.

True to the tradition of those years, this tie is crafted from precious heavy silk (featuring jacquard weaves or traditional printing techniques), offering a rich tactile structure and a drape that evokes an authentic heritage charm. Each piece is enhanced by an exclusive commemorative label and is the result of 45 minutes of expert hand-stitching in Italy. An authentic piece of history to be worn and collected.

Style Tips

The use of heavy silk gives this collection a strong, distinctive character, ideal for those who appreciate classic power dressing:

• Heritage Appeal: Whatever the chosen pattern (from regimental to geometric), the substantial structure of this tie calls for well-tailored suits, such as worsted wool, pinstripe, or flannel ensembles.
• The Sculptural Knot: The weight and density of this 1990s heavy silk create a rich, voluminous knot. A classic Four-in-Hand knot is recommended, tightly tied to form the signature central dimple, while avoiding double knots, which would result in excessive bulk.
• Collector’s Detail: The commemorative label makes this tie a true connoisseur’s piece, also perfect as a prestigious gift.

Care Instructions

• How to Untie: At the end of the day, never pull the narrow blade through the knot. Always untie the tie gently by reversing the steps used when tying it.
• Resting the Tie: Let it rest loosely rolled or hanging for at least 24 hours so the heavy silk fibres can naturally relax and recover their shape.
• Cleaning & Ironing: Strictly professional dry cleaning only. Never press the tie flat with a household iron, as heat and pressure would damage the sartorial edges and the three-dimensional structure of the fabric.
