grey with blue check design cotton/linen tie

Frederick Thomas presents a meticulously handmade tie that elevates the everyday into something distinctly refined. The grey ground paired with a timeless blue check brings a touch of quiet sophistication to any ensemble, from boardroom sharp to smart-casual evenings. Crafted from a premium cotton-linen blend, this tie offers both elegant drape and breathable comfort for all-day wear.

Key features

• Grey with blue check design — a versatile pattern that pairs beautifully with charcoal, navy, or lighter shirts.
• Premium cotton-linen blend — a refined texture with natural body, providing a absorbent yet crisp feel without the heaviness of pure silk.
• 6.5 cm blade width and 147 cm length — a classic proportions that suits most body types and knot styles.
• Rear floral pattern — a subtle signature detail that adds personality without overpowering the look.
• Dry-clean only — care instructions that preserve colour, shape and the fabric’s natural character.
• Fast dispatch — in-stock items typically ship within 24 hours, so you won’t miss a deadline or occasion.

Why this tie stands out

Where silk ties can feel delicate or high-maintenance, this cotton-linen blend delivers a balanced, dependable option with a touch more texture. The blue-check motif feels contemporary yet timeless, making it suitable for daily office wear, important client meetings, or formal events where a polished, confident silhouette is essential. The rear floral motif adds a hint of individuality—enough to notice upon closer look, without distracting from a cohesive outfit.

What to wear and when

Ideal with a charcoal or navy suit, or with a crisp white or pale blue shirt for a modern business look. For a smart-cest casual vibe, pair with a light grey blazer and dark denim. Knotting options like a classic four-in-hand or a neat half-Windsor work well with the 6.5 cm blade width, ensuring a balanced finish that holds its shape throughout the day.

Care and longevity tips

• Follow the dry-clean only instruction to maintain fabric integrity and colour depth.
• Store on a hanger to prevent creasing; if they form folds, gently press on a low heat with a pressing cloth.
• Avoid contact with heavy or abrasive surfaces to keep the rear floral pattern pristine.
