Material & Quality – explained simply

• 100% wool (wool flannel)

  • Flannel: a gently brushed wool fabric with a soft surface. For ties, the nap is kept very fine – this results in a matte, understated look with a smooth feel, ideal for the colder season.
  • Advantages: natural warmth, pleasant elasticity, subtle texture without sheen.

• Interlining (the “heart” of the tie)

  • Function: The high-quality interlining provides volume, elasticity, and resilience. This makes the tie easy to tie, keeps the knot stable, and allows the fabric to recover quickly by evening—a gentle run through your fingers is all it takes to smooth it out again.

• Hand-sewn center seam (hand-slip seam)

  • Workmanship: The hidden seam on the back is hand-sewn using a long needle. It remains slightly elastic so that the tie can “move” with you without losing its shape. This is one of the hallmarks of high-quality ties.

Dimensions, Fit & Weave

• Width: 8 cm – timeless, fits most lapel widths.
• Length: 147 cm – suitable for standard knots and body sizes.
• Knot volume: normal – ideal for a four-in-hand or half Windsor.
• Ease of tying: The material glides smoothly, holds its shape securely, and retains its form.

Detailed product description

The Ascot 01147380 in Aperol orange is a modern winter tie made of fine wool flannel—matte, understated, yet expressive. The slightly textured look adds depth without being overpowering. Thanks to the carefully selected interlining, the tie ties effortlessly and forms a balanced knot that holds its shape throughout the day. In the evening, a gentle smoothing is all it takes to make it look fresh again.

Ascot has been manufacturing in Krefeld for decades and is one of the last remaining tie houses in Germany. The hand-sewn, elastic center seam—stitched with a long needle—is a hallmark of this tradition: it allows for flexibility in the fabric, prevents tension, and ensures longevity. The warm “Aperol orange” shade pairs particularly well with navy blue, shades of gray, or natural tones like sand and moss—an accent that neatly complements suits and knitwear.

At UNIT Hamburg, you’ll find a carefully curated selection of ascots—with advice tailored to your wardrobe, occasion, and lapel width. We’d be happy to show you the right knots and color combinations at our store in downtown Hamburg.
