Fairbanks Orange Mogador Stripe Tie
A sun-drenched orange ground, cut through with stripes of navy and soft sky blue — the Fairbanks is what happens when a classic stripe goes on holiday.
Like its shelf-mates, it is woven in Italy as a mogador — 61% silk, 39% cotton — and handmade in New York City. The Italian mogador ground carries the orange with unusual depth, and the navy and sky blue stripes keep the composition anchored rather than loud.
Orange and navy is one of menswear's great secret pairings: each makes the other look deliberate. The Fairbanks plays best against navy suiting or a blue blazer, over white or pale blue, in daylight and good company. It is a warm-weather stripe with enough structure to survive a serious room. If the Ellington is spring, this is high summer.
