1999 Collection” Tie in Heavy Silk Fine Stripes Blue & Red JD014

A journey to the origins of a sartorial myth. In September 1999, Maurizio Talarico unveiled his very first tie collection, defining the codes of an elegance that would soon captivate the highest institutional figures. Today, to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Maison, we reopen our historic archives with the 1999 Collection: an exclusive reissue of the most iconic patterns from that era. In keeping with the traditions of those years, this tie is crafted from ultra-fine heavy silk (featuring exquisite jacquard weaves or archival prints), restoring that rich texture and sophisticated drape that define true heritage style. Each piece is adorned with an exclusive celebratory label and is the result of 45 minutes of expert hand-tailoring in Italy. An authentic piece of history to wear and to collect.

Style Advice

The use of heavy silk gives this collection a bold character, making it ideal for those who appreciate classic "Power Dressing":

• Heritage Charm: Regardless of the pattern (be it regimental or geometric) the rich substance of this tie demands well-structured tailoring. It pairs perfectly with worsted wool suits, pinstripes, or flannel.

• The Sculptural Knot: The substantial weight of 1990s-style heavy silk creates a rich, voluminous knot. We recommend a classic Four-in-Hand knot, tightened firmly to create the signature "dimple" (the central fold). We suggest avoiding double knots, which may result in an excessively thick appearance.

• A Collector’s Detail: The celebratory label marks this tie as a piece for true connoisseurs, making it an exceptional choice for a prestigious gift.

Care Instructions

• Untying the Tie: At the end of the day, never pull the narrow end through the knot. Always untie it by gently reversing the steps used to tie it, ensuring the fibers remain undisturbed.

• Resting: Allow the tie to rest for at least 24 hours, either loosely rolled or hung. This allows the fibers of the heavy silk to naturally relax and smooth out.

• Cleaning and Ironing: Professional dry clean only. Never iron the tie by pressing it flat with a household iron; the heat and pressure would ruin the hand-tailored edges and the fabric's refined three-dimensional structure.
