I purchased this bow tie a few week ago. And I must say how excellent this bow tie is, the quality of it is just amazing. I’ve been wanting to know how to tie a bow tie so I searched all over YouTube and couldn’t find any good tutorials until I found the Gentleman’s Gazette. The tutorial was very helpful and full of detail, I eventually bought the bow tie off Fort Belvedere since Macy didn’t even sell self tie bow ties. Even though the price is a little pricy I think it is worth it, especially due to its quality and the way it comes to you in a nice Fort Belvedere package.

Decadently Woven Jacquard

Jacquard silk is a type of fabric that features intricate patterns woven directly into the material, rather than being printed or dyed on. This is achieved through the use of a special loom called the Jacquard Loom, which allows individual control of each thread. The result is a highly textured and patterned silk with a distinct look and feel.

Jacquard silk is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship and enduring allure of Old World charm. Its intricate patterns, woven directly into the fabric, speak of an era where artistry and attention to detail were paramount. The subtle sheen and luxurious texture of jacquard silk are reminiscent of royal tapestries and opulent attire, making it a timeless treasure in the world of fabrics.

Care

Cleaning

Jacquard neckwear should not be washed immersed in water as doing so can ruin the texture and color of the silk. Instead, spot clean your neckwear using the following steps.

Gently blot any excess substance from the stain with a soft, dry cloth. Do not rub as this can damage the fabric.

Fill a small bowl with lukewarm water and add a few drops of mild detergent specifically designed for silk.

Dip a corner of a clean, white cloth into the solution and test it on a hidden area of the neckwear to ensure it doesn't cause discoloration.

If the test is successful, lightly dab the stained area with the dampened cloth. Use a gentle tapping motion and do not saturate the silk.

Moisten another clean cloth with plain lukewarm water and gently dab the area to remove any soap residue.

Pat the cleaned area with a dry cloth to absorb moisture, then leave the neckwear laid flat on a towel to air dry completely.

If the stain does not respond to the these steps, take the neckwear to a professional dry cleaner experienced in handling silk garments.

Storage

To prevent heavy creasing, never store your neckwear tied or knotted.

Undo the knot and then roll the necktie up in a firm but not excessively tight coil.

Allow it to sit in the coil for about a day to relax wrinkles.

To prevent wrinkles, store your silk neckwear hanging, lying flat, or in a very loose roll.

Bow Tie Style Tips

A perfectly symmetrical self-tied bow tie is almost impossible to achieve, and it too closely resembles the artificial appearance of a cheap-looking pre-tied bow tie. Therefore, take advantage of the spontaneity and unique look of a self-tied bow tie by embracing a nonchalant approach.

How so? Intentionally leave one end of the bow tie a little longer than the other, or one side higher than the other, for an organic, sprezzatura-inspired appearance. You can also vary the tightness or looseness of the knot for more formal or casual looks. The result is a bow tie that is definitively styled your way and that will fit your personality.

What makes this printed jacquard silk bow tie from Fort Belvedere special?

The majority of modern bow ties come in only one or two boring styles with flimsy interlining and oversized, obtrusive proportions that were especially popular in the 1970s and 1990s. Fort Belvedere, however, has revived the classic bow tie varieties that made the glorious 1930s a part of the Golden Age of Menswear, with smaller, neater bow ties that are subtle and sophisticated.

For this bow tie, we sourced exceptional jacquard woven silk created by a family-owned mill that has been producing some of the finest silks in the world for over 100 years. In a jacquard weave, the pattern is constructed directly into the fabric itself. We then print our classically-inspired design directly onto the jacquard-woven base. This production model is more labor-intensive than conventionally printed fabrics, but doing so ensures that your bow tie has a unique look with rich colors and exceptional texture.

  • Hand-Printed Pattern

    Printed on an artisanal screen in a process typical of Old World production, the colors of this pattern shine with an unusual brilliance that cannot be replicated by any other method.

  • Dynamic Diamond Pattern

    This neckwear has been decorated with a repeating diamond pattern in multiple colorways. Bold enough to be noticeable but subtle enough to never overwhelm, this simple repeating pattern creates visual interest as well as the perfect opportunity for the introduction of multiple colors into your outfit.

  • Handmade

    Fort Belvedere ties are entirely sewn by hand, which gives them improved flexibility and designs that are functional as well as beautiful. This careful oversight allows us to offer exceptional products typified by the standards of Old World construction.

  • Classic Pointed Ends

    One of the most classic shapes, this bow tie features the pointed ends that were typical for both social and business occasions during the Golden Age of Menswear.

  • Perfect Bow Tie Size

    When tied, this bow tie has classically proportioned dimensions of approx. 4" by 2" or 10 cm by 5 cm.

  • Adjustable Sizing

    Our sliding neck-size adjuster was designed to be
    simple and easy to use, so you can achieve a custom fit to your exact
    size with ease. When you are in a rush, you can even unhook the adjuster
    clasp and leave the knot tied for convenience, although, for regular
    wear, we do recommend untying the knot to avoid wrinkles and premature
    wear, and aging.
