subject: Brand Name Ties: Why Buy Them And How To Get Your Money Worth [print this page] Brand name ties tend to retail for prices you may find ridiculous. They are made of fine silk as well as being well cut and sewn, but it is usually the design that makes them worth the price. The combination of colors, patterns and style help you avoid the headache of matching and pairing them and makes the paid price acceptable.
When it comes to really high end brand name ties, however, it is all about prestige and recognition. Hermes ties actually have a very important role in determining your social status.

If you are venturing into high society and interested in buying an Hermes tie, there are many fakes out there and you need to be careful buying them, especially online. T,here are ways however, to recognize the real deal. Remember that nothing spell faux pas to rich people more than wearing fakes.
Recognizing Real Hermes Ties
Most Hermes ties have a delicate letter H imprinted across the surface of the tie. They also have signature pattern designs of whimsical animals, horseshoe or geometry.
Check the bias run. The bias on real Hermes ties never run vertically or horizontally; they always run diagonally from upper left corner.
Hermes ties are made of pure silk with matte finish. They are never shiny nor do they have a smooth surface. Hermes ties are soft yet sturdy. If you can feel the ties, go ahead and do it and make sure they are firm and even slightly stiff.
The inner lining of a genuine Hermes tie is a solid color matching the color of the tie's background. Solid black linings with H imprints are only used with signature H Hermes ties, never the patterned ones.
The most important thing which no fakes have bothered to copy is the signature loop end on the back end of the Hermes ties. Fake Hermes ties simply have the end folded and sewn together.Near the narrow end of the tie, you will see a box enclosing writings that indicate pattern code and design factory.
These writings are always 2, 3 or 4 digit numbers and 2 letters. On top of the box is the writing MADE IN FRANCE; at the bottom it always says 100% SOIE.
