Alistair R Liberty print ties are made from fine crease resistant Liberty Lawn cotton fabric. Handstitched and lined with the same fabric they measure 7.5cm at the widest point. Dry Clean only.With a design based on the silhouette of the forget-me-not flower, this blue tie is a great way brighten up an outfit. Its mid size pattern is visible from a few paces so we recommend pairing with a plain shirt and a complimentary coloured cufflink; Lapis, Pink Opal or Aventurine will all work well.Our gemstone lapel pins are handmade in our UK studio.  Designed to compliment our ties and cufflink collections, the Barrow lapel pin features an oval cabochon cut stone set into a classic sterling silver bezel setting. Lapel pins can also be worn as tie pins, or used to secure cravats. The oval face of the lapel pin measures 12mm x 8mm.A unique form of granite only found in Co. Donegal, North West Ireland and rarely seen in jewellery, we selected this stone for its small pattern size and stunning dappled monochrome shades. Lapel Pins are shipped in a jewellery box, with an elegant gift envelope and gift card enclosed. Ties come packaged in a protective plastic sleeve, inside a black card envelope When wearing a lapel or tie pin, it is recommended that an open weave or heavily patterned tie be worn.  It is NOT recommended with a plain or closely woven silk tie. Never force the pin through fabrics; it should be able to go through easily.It is not uncommon for a small pinhole to be left in the fabric after a tie pin is removed. When removing the pin, care must always be taken to avoid snagging the fibres of the fabric as the point of the pin is withdrawn. To help remove any remaining hole in the fabric  - steam may be used (but do not place the iron directly on the tie) or a gentle movement side to side of the fabric to close over the hole.
