We have received numerous questions about the mark on the back of our Jaan J. silk free ties. Therefore, we would like to take this opportunity to provide you with some information about what it means and where it came from.

The mark on the back of all Jaan J. non-silk ties is a depiction that is much more than a beautiful symbol - it is a rendition of the sandal of the Prophet of Islam. Having been blessed with the opportunity to travel throughout North and West Africa, we here at Jaan J. have seen this image carried by spiritual communities throughout the globe - a tradition that has been ongoing for more than a millennium. Drawing inspiration from the communities and individuals we have met through our travels over our lifetime, we at Jaan J. have chosen this symbol to be the trademark for our first line of silk free ties.

Throughout the ages, the sandal of the Prophet has been honored and treated with deference to respect the one whose footstep it was modeled from. So we ask you from the bottom of our hearts to please exhibit the utmost care with the Jaan J. mark out of respect for one of the world's greatest spiritual teachers. We have no doubt that you will honor our request.

Thank you for your time.

Peace. Love. Blessings
