Not all Stanley Lewis men’s ties are made from silk. Some are made from ‘Mogador’ which is a fabric combination of cotton and silk. ‘Mogador’ neckties are often of stripe design and the cotton addition makes this Italian necktie very soft to touch.  Stanley Lewis designer neckties are also available in a 70% Wool and 30% Silk combination making them the perfect statement for the winter season.  Available in Plaid and Tartan designs, these neckties are ideal for a more casual dress code.
