Again, these ties came directly from Hermes and are a genuine product. I’m not quite certain when exactly they made that change but it must have been recently because older ties from the mid-2000s don’t have that added silk word yet. When I unpacked those new ties, I saw that the pattern mark on the printed silk twill ties now read silk 100% soie. Of course for this video, we didn’t just rely on existing Hermes ties we had but we also bought eight new ones from the website. The soie should be all caps again and San Serif just like the first line.įakers usually don’t get that right and they have the font all either in Serif or San Serif and that’s a good way to identify a fake. Thereafter, Hermes added a third line to a pattern mark which reads 100% soie which means silk in French. So if your stamp didn’t have the copyright symbol, your pattern mark should only have two lines. Up until the early 70s, the pattern mark only had two lines. The middle line should have a pattern number followed by the initials of the Artist. The top line should read made in France, all in caps, Sans Serif. It’s rectangular and it aligns with the edge fold of the tie. Observe The Pattern MarkĪll printed Hermes ties in twill have a pattern mark to identify the designer and the design number. The pattern mark on a genuine Hermes Tie 9. Simply go over with the tip of your finger and you can feel whether the right side is over the left or whether it’s the other way around. That being said, the workmanship is so good that it’s harder to determine with your bare eye. Next up, look at the backside of the tip on the wider blade, the right side always overlaps the left.
If it’s right over left, it’s definitely a fake. On a genuine Hermes tie, the left part is always folded over the right. Just like the twill direction, this is a very good way to identify a genuine Hermes tie.Īlso while you look at the backside of the tie, look at the folds.
Typically with fakes, they don’t go to that much detail because most people never look underneath the fold and so there isn’t an extra fold. Look underneath of it and you will see a dovetail fold that is a hallmark of all Hermes ties. Look At The Dovetail Foldīy that I mean you turn the tie around, you look at the front plate and open the folds in the back.
