Classic ties are made with a 3-fold construction simply because the tie is folded three times over. Simply put, one fold on the inside, a second fold over and a third over again so that you get a closed seam on the edge. Alternatively, other fold construction types such as six, seven have become popular with tie enthusiasts and are used as a quality hallmark. However, what really matters is not the number of folds but the look, feel and quality of the materials used in the process of construction.
Shantung raw grenadine is made of shantung silk. The fabric slubs lend the necktie a distinctive and raw feel. The uneven raw fibres on the necktie, unusual structure, and deep, soft colour prime its apparently remarkable style and character. A conducive year around fabric that compliments soft unconstructed casual jackets but can also be worn to dress down formal suits.
