I was searching for something real English, local, with heritage, that last long and be remembered. Having bought few ties for myself from R A Smart, I did he right choice this time. The tie is perfect quality and pattern. This will go far abroad to Crimea to relative. I picked up tie personally from the company’s site near Adelphi Mill. There are still I can see large machinery working with silk. It’s a great place to visit with a strong local connection and industrial legacy.
