DESCRIPTION

 

This is a very unique and special tie, being of the uncommon loosely-knit style and bearing the white Pininfarina “f” logo. The texture of the 100% silk knit is immediately apparent upon handling, and the loose weave allows light to pass through when held up to a light source, though the tie is not “see-through”.

 

Narrow, with square ends, this understated black tie will complement most wardrobe styles. It is not wide and gaudy.

 

The sewn-on tags read:

VICHY

Made for Pininfarina

            and

100% /ALL SILK

MADE IN ITALY

 

Measurements:

Width - 2 1/8 inches / 5.5 cm tapering to 1 1/2 inches / 3 cm around the neck

Length - 52 inches / 131 cm ** ©nasa21 – do not copy **

Interior is lined with satin–type material in the area around the neck, 13 1/2 inches / 34 cm in length

 

My friend who owned this tie was a Fiat and Lancia automobile dealer (among other marques). In 1978 he and his wife traveled to Turin, Italy, where they toured the Fiat and Lancia factories, then moved on to Monaco for a Lancia Business Meeting and New Car Presentation.  During this trip he was personally presented with this silk tie by Mr. Sergio Pininfarina, the son of Battista "Pinin" Farina, the founder of the Pininfarina coachbuilding company,.

 

This tie has NEVER been worn. It has been stored in its original clear plastic sleeve and its original Pininfarina-marked paper envelope.

 

My friend wrote on the envelope:

“From Mr.”, with an arrow pointing down to the “Pininfarina” printed on the envelope, then “our visit to Fiat factory” below “Pininfarina”, and below that his name.

 

A distinctive one-of-a-kind gift for the ultimate classic car enthusiast/collector.
