Ok guys, now that we have been successful in destroying one of Italy's finest tie manufacturers, it's time to launch our latest project

You may have seen that the downfall of Passaggio started when Gianni tried to pass of a brown/orange grenadine that was woven in 2012 as an extinct vintage fabric even dating it back to 1943 (wartime Italy).
To prove Gianni was bullshitting T4 and I contacted the weaver and organized three special runs which were made up by Patrizio Cappelli.
This whole thing got us talking to Patrizio Cappelli and he liked the idea of giving us access to his archives and recreating seasonal patterns, provided we get the numbers to meet the minimums.
For summer (I agree it's a bit late but we are no pro's) we picked a david evens fabric with floral neat. The original was printed on a hopsack woven silk

We contacted Adamley (the owners of the David Evans archives) and Patrizio Cappelli sent a small cutting of the fabric to them.
They informed us that the ties can be remade using the same screens
in the same colours. However, the hopsack fabric is no longer available
(unless a minimum of 100 meters is ordered), but Adamley suggested their panama weave as a good alternative.

It has a nice crisp hand and would also be a good base for the print.
The Adamley design team prepared some colourways and informed us
the minimum was 6mt per colour.
We are posting this here, on Styleforum and on the Dutch forum to see
if there is sufficient interest in recreating this design.
The ties will be made by Patrizio Cappelli as per the usual pricing
on his site. Also his standard shipping policy applies. If you want to do it in a one piece 7 fold (LOLOLOLOL) it can also be done.
Option 1
Is the exact same colour as the original according to Adamley it just looks different since it is a rendering and not printed. Option 2 is the inverse colours




Pricing:
Standard Cappelli pricing policy applies.
That means prices start at EUR 80 for standard 3 fold construction. Hand rolled edges, extra folds or length in excess of 155cm are extra:
Hand rolled edges is +€20
5 fold is +€20
6 or 7 fold is +€40
155-164 is +€20
165-174 is +€30
175-184 is +€40
My default is 3 fold with hand rolled edges. I know Zhirinovsky is even cheaper and gets standard 3 fold most of the time.
You can specify amount lining. Best to discuss that with Patrizio as it is dependent on personal preference, the type of fabric and the number of folds.
Shipping is EUR 25 and is waived if you order 5 ties or more at once.
