Here is the Hermes reply. Actually passed through a bunch of duty free stores and enjoyed the hermes cosntruction over the others. They employ a 4 fold type of folding and the stitching is done nicely and properly and despite the lining ingredients the ties bounced back nicely to crunching up. I highly doubt that any of the designers use silk on the tie lining (Fodera) but rather an artificial fabric with their logo. As my Boss said, had anyone done what I was doing to the ties in any of our stores we would have been excercising restraint by just throwing them out
JJF >>>Bonjour, I am so sorry for all the misinformation you have been given. You are completely right. The exclusive Hermes interlining, which gives the ties their shape an hang, is a mixture of cotton and wool. I apologize for the inconvenience of the previous misinformation.

Its quite impossible that the ties are lined with silk as only seven fold ties are lined with silk and the hermes ties are not seven fold ties. Indeed if you touch a Hermes tie you feel a distinct lining under the silk. Please check with the company and get back to me what exactly does Hermes use for the LINING of their ties. The sooner the better. Thanks again for all your help. JJF
