The strength that sailed the seas, now in your hands
Premium Navy Thread • Made in Italy since 1902
When Charles of Bourbon founded the Royal Navy of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, sails and nautical equipment required threads of extraordinary strength. Seams had to withstand fierce winds, violent waves, and corrosive salt spray.
Neapolitan and Sicilian artisans developed spinning and weaving techniques that made the Royal Navy famous for the reliability of its vessels. Knowledge passed down from generation to generation.
TAN Company Italia was born carrying forward the tradition of working with resistant materials, producing professional tools for leatherworkers and shoemakers with the same dedication to quality.
Today, REAL MARINA THREAD combines 290 years of maritime tradition with TAN's artisan expertise. A thread that is not just a product, but a piece of Italian maritime history.
"The sails of the Royal Navy crossed the Mediterranean. Today, that thread runs through your hands."
The same strength that served the Bourbon fleet's sails, the same artisan attention that made Italy famous worldwide, now in every spool of Real Marina Thread.
