Hermès Silk Tie

Q: What is the Hermès Silk Tie (WZ606613)?
A: It is a vintage Hermès tie crafted from 100% silk, featuring a blue and red chain‑link motif. This piece is labelled Made in France and is graded in Very Good pre‑owned condition with a light trace of use. Please review the photos for exact colours, pattern scale and condition details.

Q: What are the measurements and are they typical?
A: The tie measures approximately 147 cm in length and 8 cm in width. This is a classic modern proportion that works with most dress shirt collars and standard lapel widths. Minor variances are possible with vintage items due to age and storage.

Q: What knots work best with an 8 cm tie?
A: Versatile, balanced knots such as the Four‑in‑Hand and Half‑Windsor suit an 8 cm width particularly well. For wider spread collars or more formal occasions, a Full Windsor can also be appropriate. Aim for a neat dimple under the knot for a refined finish.

Q: How should I care for a Hermès silk tie?
A: We recommend professional dry cleaning only. Avoid contact with water or rain, and keep away from perfumes, hairspray and oils that may spot or weaken the silk. Store it loosely rolled or hung, away from direct sunlight and humidity to preserve colour and shape.

Q: How do I remove wrinkles or creases?
A: After wear, allow the tie to rest by hanging it overnight so the fibres relax. For stubborn creases, use very light steam from a distance or ask a professional cleaner to hand‑press using a pressing cloth. Avoid heavy pressure or high heat, which can flatten the tie’s structure.

Q: Is this tie unisex?
A: Yes. Ties are widely worn by all genders. The elegant chain‑link print and classic width make this a versatile piece for anyone seeking a polished, vintage luxury accent.

Q: What is included with this pre‑owned item?
A: This listing is noted as “no accessories,” so the original orange box or other packaging is not included unless explicitly shown or stated in the photos and description.

Q: Where is it made and does it have a serial number?
A: This tie is labelled Made in France. Hermès ties typically do not have serial numbers or date codes; instead, they feature brand and care labels and the “Hermès Paris” signature within the print on genuine pieces.

Q: How is authenticity verified?
A: A Retro Tale conducts rigorous multi‑point authentication on every item, assessing silk quality, print precision, stitching, labels and overall construction. Please review our detailed photos and condition notes for additional assurance.

Q: How can I style this blue and red colourway?
A: It pairs effortlessly with navy or mid‑grey tailoring and crisp white or light blue shirts. If mixing patterns, keep other patterns subtle (e.g., fine stripes) to let the chain‑link motif stand out. A slim tie bar can be used sparingly—place it between the third and fourth shirt buttons without clamping too tightly on the silk.
