Merritt Navy Semi-Solid Tie

The Merritt is the quintessential Milanese jacquard — a rich navy ground carrying a parade of perfectly positioned pips in white and red.

It is woven in Italy from 100% silk and handmade in New York City. The pips are small and exactly spaced, which is the trick of a good semi-solid: order without stiffness, detail without pattern. At speaking distance the Merritt reads navy; across the table, the red and white surface quietly.

Navy with white and red accents belongs everywhere a suit does. Wear it to interviews, client days, and anywhere a stripe would feel expected; it does the same work with more subtlety. Over a white shirt it is exact, over light blue it relaxes — either way it is the semi-solid to build a week around.
