Description
An extraordinary piece of corporate and sartorial history, this rare vintage 1980s necktie was custom-produced for Hero Cycles—the legendary Indian bicycle manufacturer recognized in the 1986 Guinness Book of World Records as the world's largest bicycle producer.
Crafted from 100% pure silk with a finely ribbed twill weave, this tie eschews novelty prints in favor of a sophisticated, high-contrast geometric medallion pattern in deep claret burgundy, bright saffron yellow, teal blue, and crisp ivory.
