About This Item: Embodying boldness and confidence, both purple and gold have long-standing ties with US collegiate and professional athletic institutions. As part of our All American collection, this striped necktie perfectly captures that spirited tone and places it onto the wearer. It works exceptionally well as a power tie or as a complimentary accent to your casual attire. Although designed with love in North Carolina, this piece is Italian crafted and handwoven with our exclusive, slightly ribbed silk fabric.
