I purchased this beige-gold striped tie from Franco Spada because I was looking for a tie that would add some variety to my collection of basic blue, red, and brown ties. Franco Spada is the original flagship brand of Nagashima Fukushoku Co., Ltd., a Japanese tie manufacturer with a 70-year history. This company also handles OEM production for various brands and is one of the top tie companies in Japan, alongside companies like Ainex. The material of this tie is 100% silk. The size is very basic, with a blade width of approximately 8.2 cm and a length of approximately 148 cm, making it easy for anyone to wear (please forgive any errors due to my amateur measurements). The condition is, in my opinion, quite good, as I have only worn it once or twice since purchasing it. This tie has a slightly lustrous beige-gold base, which gives off a subtly rich atmosphere without being too flashy. I was introduced to it by a salesperson at Daimaru Kyoto store, who said it would brighten up my face, and with my wife's strong encouragement, I bought it. Before buying this tie, I thought, "Gold might be a bit too flashy..." However, this tie isn't a solid gold color; it has white stripes around navy stripes, so when paired with a white shirt, the white of the tie picks up the white of the shirt, allowing the shirt and tie to blend seamlessly and create a refined look. Also, when paired with a blue shirt, the blue and beige-gold complement each other beautifully, creating a very attractive color combination, which I also loved for its elegance. Thanks to this, it also goes well with navy, gray, and black suits. The stripes are also wide, so it works well with both solid and striped suits, which I think is a great advantage. Also, the luster of the material is exquisite, and any fashion enthusiast would immediately think, "This is definitely a great tie!" (laughs) As expected from Nagashima Fukushoku, the material is moderately thick and has a good firmness, making it easy to create a dimple that holds its shape for a long time. Recently, I've been working from home more, and the opportunity to wear ties has decreased dramatically. Therefore, I decided to sell it while it's still in good condition, hoping that someone who appreciates it will buy it. I really loved this tie, so I would be happy if it could be passed on to someone who will cherish it.
