Good varied selection. Not a lot ,if any, shirt ,suit and trouser combos they couldn't blend in or contrast nicely with.Just got my first SartodiNapoli ties. Following contract with Sarto via email I was sent a terrific number of cloths to choose from, so many infact that picking the three required to get their offer of free post proved so hard I could only narrow it down to six. Three silks, two wools and a cotton/linen mix. And I am super happy with the resulting ties. The ties were made in a seven fold construction, 160x9. Hand finished edging is very well done, shape is very even and the patterns bang center point. Prices start at 85 euro for a sevenfold, depending on cloth. Unbeatable value I should think. And I can't see me buying a tie from anywhere else again. I'd say the finishing is finer on these ties than Drakes or Vanda and while I think those ties are still nice the care and attention to customer service coupled with the sheer number of cloth options make SartoNapoli a winner for me. Sarto himself is super easy to get on with and clearly enjoys his craft. I believe Sarto does the cutting himself and a small team of Arabic virgin princesses help him constructing the ties. Their hearts and minds are pure to the artisanship of tie making and this shines through in the finished item. Shipped by UPS and took two days from Napoli to Oslo. I've already selected two madders for my next ties and selected another few cloths Sarto is in the process of ordering.View attachment 39008View attachment 39009View attachment 39010View attachment 39011View attachment 39012View attachment 39013View attachment 39014View attachment 39015

Why? This is the review thread. If you’re going to drop a line like that you should back it up with a thorough review.I'm sticking with Sam Hober if I ever feel the need for more bespoke ties.
Actually I like to have the brand label, telling who made a garment, but I understand that the absence of it is part of Sarto's philosophy, and, as you say, pretty cool.One thing I didn't really think about til my mate mentioned it last night was the lack of label. Which we both agreed that in these times of brand whoring is kinda cool not to have it on something made to this standard by hand.

Frankly I can't see the absence of a label a good reason to buy something.I actually did not know this about Sarto. I'm surprisedLumpen did not inform us of this wonderful detail. I may have to select some vintage thirst from Sarto now

But Sarto says about it as Scarface, the one who wants chicas, champagne, flash, they do not last, so better do as humble as possible.

You’re sarto you crazy cocksucker!
I also made my first order from Sarto and I'm waiting to get my parcel. We have something in common, that glen check purple woollen tie.
I'll report as I receive the ties, but I can already say that it was a very nice process with kind and punctual communication.

Sometimes you need to go-off the map and force yourself out of your normal colour and pattern preferences. I got a floral Liberty print tie on a recommendation when picking up some shirts. I would never have picked that design myself and the tie works.I'll still likely get a few ties for the sake of trying, but now it's a matter of combing through options from other brands so that whatever I choose don't clash too much with my current and future ties. So far it seems that I keep picking lake blue or navy blue ties, partly because I keep wanting to leave those colours for the textured ties. I'll make time to review what I own more carefully and more strategically plan my purchase...I'll likely make a decision later this week.
That's true - I've talked to my tailor on the topic of choosing ties recently. His thought on my problem is that you don't really wear ties with casual outfits nowadays. Whenever you do, it's when you want to be dressy, and that usually means the outfit (e.g. jacket) is itself louder than formal ones. With that in mind, it's much easier to imagine using plain ties with special material and/or weave than loud ties.Sometimes you need to go-off the map and force yourself out of your normal colour and pattern preferences.

That’s the only one I really want to geti like that tie and im not a tie person
The thing is that once a tie catches your eye you just have to buy it, or it might be gone forever. And you can always convince yourself by noting the differences with what you already have…however small they are.I'm waiting for my next order to be sent. I think its another six. A couple are like ones I already have in terms of colour and pattern but its nice to have a choice in that context I think. It'd be better if I was a guy who could be happy with 10 ties and not jizz myself everytime I see a cloth or pattern I like. I just love ties I guess. I'll often drape a few ties over the shoulder of the jacket I'm going to wear and crack one off while deciding on each one to wear. I have this torment of excitment and shame at the same time whenever I open the tie drawer. Its why I never go near ties in a shop. I'm worried I wouldn't be able to control the urge if I saw a beauty on the tie stand.

I'm pretty much the same with sport coats, its a good job I need long sizes as it means I have to use made to measure. While that gives an even larger choice of pattern and cloth the cost keeps me in check. Ties are more suited to my lemonade income. While I like whatever it is that I buy I seem to get bored with clothes I have quickly. Even if I'm stoked with something after a season its lost its shine for me. Maybe next year I should not buy anything, apart from undies and try and break the habit.The thing is that once a tie catches your eye you just have to buy it, or it might be gone forever.

I would’ve been broke if I weren’t so annoying with patterns.
