Hand-tied cotton pique bow tie

The material is a cotton pique textile from Alumo, a Swiss luxury shirt fabric maker with over 100 years of history. It is not worn often, but it is an indispensable bow tie for evening formal tailcoats. Bow ties made from synthetic pique-style fabric can sometimes be found on the market, but bow ties made with genuine cotton pique are extremely rare. In addition, because it is hand-tied, its beautiful shape when tied gives off a very classic feel. This is a highly recommended bow tie to wear with a tailcoat.

Beautiful silver bow tie in silk facing

Silver satin is a standard color for formal neckties, but unlike the silver satin typically used for regular ties, this bow tie uses a thicker silk facing, which tones down the strong sheen while still giving it an elegant, subdued luster and expressing a uniquely rich, tasteful color. It pairs perfectly with black, navy, and gray tuxedos, making it a bow tie especially suited for grooms. Bow ties made with thick silk facing are excellent in many respects, including a substantial feel, refined color, durability, and much more.

Nishijin-ori Striped Bow Tie

Available in four colors—black, wine, brown, and navy—each is an easy-to-match shade. The black bow tie is especially recommended for formal wear; the matte base and the subtle sheen of the satin give it a very refined and stylish look. The material is Nishijin silk jacquard, carefully woven in Kyoto by a long-established mill on traditional low-speed looms. By using the labor-intensive weaving technique of leaving slack in the weft thread, the fabric has a soft fullness and thickness on the surface. Seen from a distance, the black bow tie can also look like a solid black piece, but the understated sheen of the striped sections is very appealing. It is also a fresh and recommended match with a solid black cummerbund or a solid black vest.
