Thank you for viewing! This is a Kamakura Shirts regimental tie. The color is a refreshing blue with light gray stripes. The first photo is the closest to the actual item. It's French design, handmade in Italy, and the fabric is 50% silk and 50% linen. This tie has a very soft silk and linen fabric, and a cool color and design. The fabric is very soft and light, which is a good point, but it wrinkles easily. I'm selling this because I've had fewer opportunities to wear ties for work, and I've accumulated too many. The reason for the "slightly damaged or dirty" condition is that the stitching on the tag shown in the photo has come undone and has been repaired. There are also some loose threads on the back of the small sword (the narrow end). I believe it won't affect wear, but please check the photos. I would appreciate it if you could excuse any folding wrinkles from shipping and storage. Size: Blade width: Approximately 8.1cm, Total length: Approximately 156cm Available for immediate purchase. I will ship it folded the day after the purchase is made. Please check the photos and description carefully before purchasing. Feel free to ask any questions or request additional photos in the comments. I also have other ties for sale, so please take a look if you'd like. Bundled purchases are also welcome. Thank you.
