A loose, even lacy weave produced on jacquard looms, grenadine's texture gives added interest to what is traditionally a solid colored necktie.<br /><br />There are several variations to the grenadine weave with the more popular being the more heavily textured Garza Grossa and the finer Garza Fina. Grenadine ties are lined, lest the wearer's shirt be visible through the loose weave of the Garza Grossa in particular. They are also thicker than other ties, which limits their construction to three folds and restricts the knots used to tie them to four in hands as they are otherwise too bulky.<br /><br />The versatility of the solid colored necktie and its attachment to the aforementioned legend (Bond wore a navy blue) meant that grenadines were generally solids until the last couple years, when tie makers began commissioning stripes and dotted weaves from the mills. Having gone through that phase, we now return to the original with a literal twist where the use of different color silk threads for the warp and the weft produces an updated look that is <a href="http://store.asuitablewardrobe.net/silkwovengrenadineneckties.aspx" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">not quite a solid</a>. In eminently conservative colorways, had they been available fifty years ago the not-quite-a-solid grenadine would surely have been in the closet of our favorite secret agent.<br /><br /><i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 16px;">It’s more than a few months overdue but we expect to be launching the new ASW site </span><a href="http://asuitablewardrobe.us5.list-manage2.com/track/click?u798b8db749085a01a5fe070c&idåcac01bac&eje1ed4a30" style="background-color: white; color: #007df1; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">www.asuitablewardrobe.net</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 16px;"> this week.
