Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What are the dimensions of this Hermès silk tie? A: This tie measures approximately 158 cm in length and 9.5 cm at its widest point. That gives it a classic vintage profile with a broader blade than many modern slim ties.
Q: What is this tie made from? A: This piece is made from silk and features a yellow base with a chain-link pattern. Silk gives the tie a refined drape and a subtle sheen that works well for both business and formal dressing.
Q: Is this a slim tie or a more traditional width? A: At 9.5 cm wide, this is a more traditional, wider tie rather than a modern slim style. It suits classic tailoring especially well and pairs nicely with jackets that have standard or broader lapels.
Q: Is the 158 cm length suitable for taller wearers? A: Yes, 158 cm is longer than many standard ties, so it can be a good option for taller wearers or for those who prefer a larger knot. The final fit will still depend on your shirt collar, torso length and the knot you choose.
Q: What knot works best with this tie? A: A four-in-hand knot is a great everyday choice if you prefer a slightly relaxed finish. For a more formal and symmetrical look, a half Windsor or full Windsor can work well, especially with a spread collar.
Q: What outfits does this tie work best with? A: The yellow silk and chain-link motif make it an elegant statement piece. It pairs especially well with navy, charcoal, mid-grey and beige tailoring, along with a crisp white or pale blue shirt.
Q: What condition is this vintage tie in? A: It is listed in very good condition with light traces of use. As a vintage item, mild signs of previous wear are normal, but this piece remains well-presented and ready to wear.
Q: Does this item come with anything extra? A: Yes, the product information states that a box is included. If any additional item is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How should I care for a vintage silk tie? A: Silk ties should be handled gently. If needed, blot marks carefully rather than rubbing, avoid machine washing, and use a specialist dry cleaner for more serious cleaning. Between wears, untie it fully and store it flat or hanging away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Q: How do you authenticate Hermès vintage items? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is reviewed by in-house experts who assess details such as materials, construction, labels and overall craftsmanship. This helps ensure the piece is authentic before it is offered for sale.
