ARE YOU PROBABLY ASKING YOURSELF, WHY A BOW TIE?
Bow ties are a versatile accessory that can elevate any outfit, whether you're going for a formal or casual look. There are generally three types of bow ties: the self-tied, pre-tied, and clip-on. Let's explore these types further:
​
1. Self-tied bow ties: With self-tied bow ties, you have to tie the bow on your own. These are perfect for those who enjoy the art of tying knots and want a personalized touch. Self-tied bow ties allow you to adjust the size and shape according to your preference.
​
2. Pre-tied bow ties: Pre-tied bow ties come already tied for you. They are convenient and easy to put on, making them ideal for busy occasions or when you're in a hurry. You can adjust their length to fit your collar size.
​
3. Clip-on bow ties: Clip-on bow ties are the simplest to wear. They have a convenient clip mechanism that attaches directly to your shirt collar. While they lack the elegance of self-tied or pre-tied versions, they're great for quick styling.
​
​
Additionally, consider the fabric of your bow tie to enhance your overall look:
​
- Silk: Silk is the go-to fabric for formal events, especially with tuxedos or dinner jackets. Its light sheen complements silk satin lapels, creating a cohesive look.
​
- Linen and Cotton: These fabrics are lightweight and breathable, making them perfect for warm-weather occasions. A linen or cotton bow tie pairs well with tan, blue, or light grey suits.
​
- Wool and Velvet: In fall and winter, wool and velvet bow ties add richness to your outfit. Try a tartan wool bow tie with a dark suit or a plush velvet bow tie with a tuxedo.
​
Remember that choosing the right fabric can add texture and personality to your ensemble while ensuring it's suitable for the season and formality level.

WE DESIGN, & CREATE WITH YOU IN MIND.
At Bowtie Menswear LLC, we take pride in our unique approach to crafting bow ties. Each bow tie is meticulously handcrafted with care and attention to detail. Unlike other companies, we cut each bow tie individually using scissors, resulting in a one-of-a-kind piece that showcases our style and creativity. Our commitment to quality and individuality sets us apart from the rest.
What Makes A Good Bowtie?
Choosing the right supplies is important to maintain structure and shape.
A SAMPLE
We pay attention to anything that catches our eye during the design process. Once a sample is created, it enters the production cycle, which typically takes 2-3 business days.
​
After finalizing the sample, we proceed with small-batch production of the same design. The next steps involve hand-sewing our labels, attaching garment tags, steam pressing, and packaging. Finally, we promote the newly designed items on the Bowtie Menswear website. We follow these same steps for each new design.
THE FABRIC
Our bow ties are crafted from a variety of fabrics, including woven, cotton, polyester, and occasionally satin. We firmly believe that working with these diverse fabric types enhances the structure and appearance of our bow ties. Each fabric type has its own unique story, from the natural fibers to the manufacturing process, and we take pleasure in incorporating these narratives into our designs.
THREADS
Sewing requires high-quality thread. At our facility, we use Guitermann products, made in Germany, and known for their superior tensile strength, durability, and resistance to dust and needle breakage.
OUR SIGNATURE
Explore the art of bowtie craftsmanship with us. Every bowties we create is meticulously crafted, using hot steam pressing and clear starch to achieve the ideal shape and durability. Our signature logo label and garment care tag are thoughtfully added by hand, providing that personal touch.
COTTON
Cotton is a natural fiber produced by a plant from its seedpod. To make cotton fabric, it undergoes a cleaning process, is divided into yarns and threads, and transformed into white fabric. This fabric is versatile and can be dyed in numerous colors, and combined with other fabric types to create yarn for sweater making. Additionally, cotton fabric is durable even when wet.
Our company specifically chooses to design bow ties using cotton because of its softness, natural properties, and production in the United States. We appreciate the strength and malleability of cotton fabric when shaping the bowtie, and love the variety of patterns available. By following simple garment care instructions, you can enjoy a long-lasting and stylish bowtie.
NATURAL FIBER
POLYESTER
Did you know that polyester is made from recyclable plastic and is used in the manufacturing of many products, such as clothing, home furnishings, industrial fabrics, computer and recording tapes, and electrical insulation? Polyester has several advantages over traditional fabrics like cotton. For example, it is naturally resistant to stains due to its low absorbency. Polyester clothing can also be preshrunk during the finishing process, which means the fabric won't shrink or stretch out of shape. Additionally, the fabric is easily dyeable and not damaged by mildew. When designing our bow ties made of polyester, we take all of these factors into consideration. We also use a pressing cotton cloth to maintain the fabric's shape and avoid any shining.

RECYCLABLE POLYESTER
WOVEN
Woven fabric is a type of textile produced by interlacing multiple threads at right angles to each other. It is commonly created using a loom or factory machine and comprises of threads woven on a warp and a weft. Large machines are typically used to produce fashion-woven fabrics, which can support big rolls of bobbin threads to create long rolls. When designing our bowties, the texture and color of woven fabric make it a special material to work with. However, it's important to note that this type of bowtie design may require special care and handling by professional dry cleaners.
