In the 1980s, Franco Minucci founded the Florentine artisanal neckwear store, Tie Your Tie and its accompanying workshop. Since 2011, Kenji Kaga (pictured right) has been at the helm. The shop is famous for making ties out of luxurious, often limited vintage fabrics, doing them justice by using only handwork in the most traditional way. They separate themselves by offering increasingly rare bespoke services, letting customers decide the fabric, width, length, shape, and construction that suits their wardrobe. They even offer ties in a unique "Seven Fold" construction that uses no lining, but gets it structure from the tie fabric itself - something for the true enthusiast.

Kaga-san travels the world periodically to offer these bespoke services in-person to his clients. If you're interested in a truly special bespoke tie commission, please let me know.
