The owls are not what they seem. Except when they are! Club ties are marked by a solid or striped background with emblems woven on top. (Think crests, shields, flags, cricket bats, that kind of thing.) They used to signal membership in, you guessed it, a club or community. Nowadays, club ties are mostly symbolic — although an owl society would be cool, right? This one is hand-rolled in Italy just for us in our forever-go-to 8cm width: not too skinny, not too fat, and designed to sit in perfect harmony with both the lapel of our jackets and the length of our shirt collars.
