Aklasu makes silk ties, dress socks and pocket squares in Italy, and sells them only through aklasu.co.
The ties are Italian silk, and grenadine is the core of the range. The grenadines are handmade in Como in two weights, garza fina and the more open garza grossa. Each one is tipped with a wool backing, which finishes the blade and holds a four-in-hand knot in place. Shantung, printed foulards, houndstooth and glen plaid fill out the range, along with a black silk batwing bow tie for black tie. The flagship is the Set for Life™: navy, burgundy and black grenadines in one set, as the foundation of a tie wardrobe.
The socks are knit in Italy from 100% mercerised Egyptian cotton on a 240-needle machine. They have a hand-linked toe and a reinforced heel, and come in mid-calf and over-the-calf lengths. The pocket squares come in Italian linen with hand-rolled coloured edges finished in Como, and in silk and a wool and silk blend.
