Raw spun tussah silk from Drake's, with the natural slub left in so the blade catches light unevenly instead of reading flat. It knots softer than a formal silk, which is why it sits as well against an unstructured jacket and trousers as it does under a suit.
One size. The blade measures 3.1 in wide by 57.9 in long (8 cm by 147 cm), a classic mid width that knots cleanly in a four in hand.
Untie fully after each wear and hang to let the knot drop. Spot clean only, or take it to a silk specialist. Do not machine wash and do not press with a hot iron, as the slub is the point of the cloth.
Available in Canada at Mr. Derk in Edmonton.
