The woven motif on this mulberry silk necktie incorporates a regimental stripe pattern in navy blue and gold, accented by a shield bearing the Chi Rho monogram—the Greek letters Chi (Χ) and Rho (Ρ) for "Christos," revealed in a vision to Emperor Constantine before his 312 AD victory at the Milvian Bridge: "In this sign, you shall conquer" (Eusebius, Life of Constantine). This symbol signifies Christ's dominion over earthly powers, the triumph of faith through divine intervention, and the turning point of Constantine's conversion, leading to the Edict of Milan and the spread of Christianity in the Roman Empire.

Why This Necktie

For the Catholic man in his daily pursuits—whether leading in professional arenas, family matters, or societal engagements—this regimental-style tie evokes Constantine's faith-fueled conquest, reminding him of Christ's ultimate authority amid modern battles. It encourages bold trust in providence, sacramental fortitude, and evangelizing witness, transforming routine challenges into avenues for grace's victory in fidelity to the Church.
