Thread Count: Richard Anderson’s Bespoke Tie Service Lands on Savile Row

Richard Anderson, one of Savile Row’s leading lights, has introduced a new bespoke silk tie service — a smart evolution for the tailoring house known for its sharp suits and immaculate cuts. The move brings a subtle but meaningful flourish to the modern man’s wardrobe: a tie, handcrafted to your own specs, with just enough personalisation to feel like it was always meant to be yours.

At a time when occasionwear is making a confident return, the tie — once maligned as a symbol of stuffy formality — is getting a quiet revival. This new service from Richard Anderson positions the accessory as a considered sartorial signature rather than an obligation. Think wedding parties looking to align without matching too hard, or clients simply wanting something unique to anchor their tailoring.

The process is refreshingly straightforward. Step one: book an appointment in-store. Step two: select your fabric. Richard Anderson’s range spans classic geometrics, paisleys and more abstract options, with colourways to suit everything from navy suits to full-morning dress. Then it’s down to the dimensions: choose your ideal tie length and blade width, depending on how you wear your knots and your frame.

From there, it’s all handled by British hands. Silk is sent to print specialists in Macclesfield, before making its way to the brand’s trusted tie makers in Kent, where each piece is cut and constructed by hand in a classic 3-fold style. A finishing touch: your name and date handwritten on the in-house Richard Anderson label.

This isn’t about chasing trends or adding noise to your wardrobe — it’s about elevating the details. A tie might be a small piece of cloth, but done right, it says a lot. And as always on Savile Row, that message starts with craft.

Prices for the bespoke tie service start at £198. Appointments can be made via Richard Anderson, Savile Row.
