I'm new to black tie but in my opinion, no corners should be cut in these events - If you're going to do it, do it right. To me, this tie being both self tie and sized, gives it a sense of legitimacy and I feel proud and confident wearing it knowing I'm doing my best to "do it right".

Black Tie Etiquette

The black bow tie has famously given its name to the Black Tie Dress Code, but this accessory is also an essential requirement when wearing a tuxedo or dinner jacket ensemble.

This neckwear will be appropriate for any formal evening dress code that includes the words "Black Tie." Its timeless butterfly bow type will frame your face perfectly and ensure you make a memorable impact.

Do not forget the other accessories typical of Black Tie. Be sure to select an appropriate waist covering, like a matching cummerbund, and consider a boutonniere as well: traditionally, gentlemen wore a rose or carnation with evening ensembles.

Care

Cleaning

Silk and blended silk 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 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 tie 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 tie 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 delicate 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, flat, or in a very loose roll.

The Most Expensive Satin in the World

When dressing for a formal Black Tie occasion, no expense should be spared, which is why we sourced the most expensive silk satin for our line of silk satin black formal evening bow ties.

Weaving satin involves floating either the vertical warp threads or the horizontal weft threads over the weft or warp threads, respectively. We devised a combination that provides the most elegant luster, contrasting matte and luminous elements for an unforgettable visual experience.

We wove our satin from only the finest silk available, imparting the impeccable beauty and remarkable strength of silk to the bow tie. This blend results in a material that has a lustrous sheen and a sleek, soft texture, ideal for the understated grace and timeless elegance of Black Tie.

Sized for You

Your Fort Belvedere formal evening bow tie is individually sized, ensuring that no clunky fastening system or adjustable slides mar the elegant appearance of your neckwear.

In most cases, your bow tie size will be the same as your shirt collar size.

To find this size, simply measure your neck with measuring tape. The size you measure is the size of bow tie you should order.

If you are in-between sizes, choose the next size up if you like a big knot or down if you like a small know.

If your shirt collar is quite a bit bigger than your neck, choose the next larger size.

Details & Specs

Black Big Large Butterfly Bow Tie Silk Satin Self-Tie with fixed Necksizes with velvet dinner jacket in burgundy- Fort Belvedere

  • Impeccable Silk Satin

    The perfect silky satin sheen can only be achieved with the perfect fabric, so Fort Belvedere has sourced only the finest luxurious silk warp satin from a renowned Italian silk mill. Almost all other satin bow ties utilize an inferior weft satin because it is cheaper to make, but it also results in an inferior luster.

  • Handmade from Superlative Silk

    The perfect silky sheen can only be achieved with the perfect fabric, so Fort Belvedere has sourced only the finest luxurious silk from a renowned Italian silk mill. Almost all other bow ties utilize an inferior weft satin because it is cheaper to make, but it also results in an inferior luster.

  • Self-Tying Bow Tie

    Pre-tied bow ties look clunky and juvenile, appearing overly artificial and being reminiscent of little boys. This bow tie is self-tying so you can craft your own desired knot and tightness to your exact wishes.

  • Individually Sized

    To save money and effort, most formal bow ties on the market have an adjustable sizing clasp. Clunky hardwear can feel uncomfortable around your neck and will spoil the lines of your collar, especially if you are wearing a detachable wing collar. Fort Belvedere is one of the few modern makers that offers a fixed-sized bow tie, perfectly suited to your personal measurements, and made from a solid piece of fabric so that there are no unsightly seams or lumps.

  • Unique Luster

    For greater visual interest, the front of this bow tie has a glossy surface and the back a matte surface. This was achieved by weaving with additional warp threads, a process that is more difficult to do than conventional weft weaving, but which produces superior results. Because of the way that the silk threads are woven together, less light is directly reflected off of the surface, giving the satin its characteristic even sheen and luster.
