This is an Altea regimental tie in autumnal colors. The color is dark brown, and the pattern is regimental with red and white lines as an accent. Altea began in 1892 in Milan, Italy, when Giuseppe Sartori opened a small, personal tie shop. The business has since expanded over four generations. The brand name Altea was established in 1946 after World War II, and the company has been developing high-sense, high-quality ties, scarves, stoles, and other items, mainly focusing on wraps for both men and women. In recent years, the business has expanded to become a total fashion brand for both men and women, and it continues to grow today. The brand name comes from the plant Althea officinalis (marshmallow plant). This plant is a medicinal herb and is said to have a healing meaning. It is also famous as a raw material for marshmallows. I learned something new! This tie is a rare line developed in a double name with LA TENDA UOMO ITALY, separate from the line developed by Aman Co., Ltd. in Japan. I think it's quite rare to find an Altea tie with the founder's name on it. By the way, the surname Sartori is a surname that means tailor in Italian. It comes from the tailor, "sarto." That makes sense. Width of the blade: Approximately 9.0cm Total length: Approximately 161.0cm Because it is an Italian-made tie, the length is quite long. It may look better tied with a double knot. Although the blade width is quite substantial, it is considered to be in the category of a moderately narrow tie overall.
