Visualize Any Material

How would my ties look in another fabric?

Ask the studio to show your tie in cotton, silk, denim, leather, velvet or linen, as images, before you order samples.

On this platform the AI does the design and visualisation work and a human pattern maker cuts the pattern. That split is deliberate. How the pattern is made.

Fabric Simulation for a tie

Fabric simulation shows the same tie in different cloths side by side, so drape, sheen and weight can be compared before swatches are ordered.

Compare a tie in a smooth and a textured material first; the surface changes how the shape reads.

Silk jacquard drapes the most and shirting linen the least: the two ends of the comparison.

What you get

The same tie rendered in two or more cloths side by side, so drape, sheen and texture can be compared.

Step by step

  1. Start from one settled image of the tie.
  2. Pick cloths of similar weight first, then one contrast.
  3. Compare the drape at the hem and the sheen on the folds.
  4. Order swatches of the two finalists before deciding.

A common mistake

Choosing a cloth from a render alone: it shows the character of a cloth, not how heavy it feels in the hand.
