Got two new ties secondhand recently and one of them really caught my eye because of its texture and I have no idea what to call it. Its 100% silk but lowkey feels like wool and it kinda reminds me of a knit but it isnt. Id love to hear what yall think.

In other news, I got my first block stripe tie (see last pic). The colour is a bit off due to lighting but it should be a kind of dirty gold and navy.

Came across these in the wild over the course of the week, a nice Malta 50c, a 1€ spanish one (the design of which I somehow dont have) and a new 2€ Belgian one I havent seen before

Shirt - uniqlo ocbd

tie - navy silk knit tie from Bottega del Sarto (thrifted)

blazer - Dunn & Co DB 4x1 navy blazer (thrifted for a whopping 30€, unsure from what era but this is old Dunn and co and is full canvas)

trousers - lightweight light gray wool flannel (thrifted, unknown brand but it has 4 pleats on each side, a full cut, and a relatively high rise, which is awesome)

socks - free socks from an event

shoes - thrifted split toe penny loafers from Franco Fidele

Lapel pin is of a small paper plane.

Thoughts?

Personally I think the shirt collar should be bigger and I would've preferred a 6x2 blazer but the 4x1 has grown on me
