My Necktie Collection (Sven Raphael Schneider's Ties)

About this video

The Gazette team provides an extensive tour of their founder’s personal tie collection, organized by season, fabric, pattern, and formality. The team demonstrates how to categorize and display ties for practical wardrobe organization, while showcasing diverse styles from summer madras and cotton blends to winter wools and cashmeres, knit ties, formal neckwear, and vintage pieces collected from estate sales and donations.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team organizes ties by practical categories—summer, winter, all-season, knit, and formal—rather than by color alone, allowing for easier selection based on seasonality and garment weight
• The Gazette team argues that micro-patterned ties are highly versatile and work well with multiple garment combinations, making them ideal travel pieces and a favorite category in their collection
• The Gazette team values unique fabrics, weaves, and textures over brand names when collecting ties, seeking interesting materials like grenadine, shantung silk, cashmere, and various knit constructions
• The Gazette team distinguishes between European ties (stripes running toward the heart) and American ties (stripes running to the right shoulder), and notes differences in knit tie construction methods that affect appearance and feel
