Diplomatic Ties 380: House of Kydos

By Daniel Blockert|January 28, 2017|Diplomatic Ties - The Series|0 comments

Received this unlined, 7-fold jacquard tie and a silk pocket square with a traditional motif from the island of Skyros from the Greek tiemaker House of Kydos (http://kydos.gr/). First time I wear them but very promising so far. I especially like the very soft handle of the tie without it being shapeless. Coat from Hentsch Man, jacket from Gieves & Hawkes Royal Collection, bespoke shirt, tie and ps from House of Kydos, Berg & Berg pants, Zegna scarf and shoes from Edward Green.

Diplomatic Ties 379: Rubinacci

An attempt at “controlled clashing”. Pink and burgundy are of course difficult colours to match, but not necessarily impossible. Here the clash is calmed down a bit with a charcoal chalkstripe suit. Zegna suit, Rayner & Sturges shirt, tie from Rubinacci, Vanda ps and shoes from Carmina. Click on the headline for more pics.

Since my wife isn’t in town my son took a few pictures. I think he managed pretty well. Still snowy in Geneva. Too cold actually to be outside without a coat. DB suit from Fallan & Harvey, shirt and ps from Drake’s, Shibumi tie, Bugatti hat and shoes from Alden. Click on the headline for more pics.
