As a teenager, watching Vittorio De Sica's film "Bicycle Thieves" changed everything for me. That moment sparked my interest for post-war and art cinema and ultimately led to my passion of searching for archived designs that I love. This tie honors the man who mastered both directing and acting across nearly 150 films. The archived jacquard pattern embodies what I love about De Sica's work – elegant with substance. When you wear this silk tie, you're carrying a piece of cinematic history that shaped my artistic journey. Details Standard Length: Approx. 3.25" x 58.5" (8 x 149cm). A classic tie width and length that is perfect for most men up to 6'2" (188cm). Extra Long Length: Approx. 3.38" x 62.5" (8.6 x 159cm). A classic tie width and length that is perfect for most men taller than 6'2" (188cm). 100% silk jacquard: This luxurious fabric is made on a special jacquard loom, the pattern results from elaborate weaving of different colored threads and is often slightly textured to the touch. 3-fold construction: This ensures your tie maintains its shape and effortlessly creates a flawless knot for a truly distinguished look.
