Houndstooth, Reinvented with Silk

Houndstooth ties, also known as Dogtooth or Pepita ties, are a staple in a classic men's wardrobe. Traditionally, the houndstooth pattern was employed for woolen sport coats, tweeds, suits, but also for accessories like ties. It has a uniquely masculine appearance and was favored for athletic and sporting attire, such as would be worn during hunts, shooting parties, or horseback riding.

Fort Belvedere redesigned the classic houndstooth tie by pairing it with a richly textured bourette silk in classic colors so you can look dapper no matter if you wear a navy or charcoal suit or a brown or green Donegal tweed jacket.

Whether entertaining friends at home, putting in work at the office, or striding across your country estate with your hounds at your heels, this silk tie with dark green and pearl grey houndstooth pattern will make you feel like the lord of the manor. 

The classic houndstooth pattern, rendered in elegant dark green and pearl grey, offers a timeless yet contemporary appeal. This bow tie is perfect for adding a touch of refinement to both formal and semi-formal outfits, making it a versatile accessory for various occasions.

To achieve a more relaxed yet stylish appearance, consider wearing the bow tie with a light grey blazer and tailored chinos. The dark green and pearl grey tones will add a sophisticated touch of color without overpowering the outfit, making it perfect for smart-casual gatherings or daytime events.

Silk with a Raw, Unique Texture

Bourette silk, sometimes called raw silk, is a wonderfully unique fabric that embodies natural beauty and understated elegance. Unlike its smooth and lustrous counterparts, bourette silk boasts a textured surface of tiny specks and nubs. These irregularities are the result of shorter silk fibers and sericin residue, remnants of the silk worm cocoon, being spun into the yarn.

The tactile experience of bourette silk is unparalleled; it's like touching raw silk harvested directly from nature. Its durability and excellent drape make it a versatile choice for those who seek comfort without compromising on style. For connoisseurs, neckwear made from bourette silk indicates ones devotion to the unique and the unexpected.

Care

Cleaning

Bourette 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 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 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 neckwear laid flat on a towel to air dry completely.

If the stain does not respond to the these steps, take the tie 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 neckwear 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 neckwear hanging, flat, or in a very loose roll.

Details & Specs

Houndstooth Silk Bourette Bow Tie Burgundy Cream - Fort Belvedere
  • Tactile Bourette Silk

    The bourette silk used for this tie has character and strong texture that is somewhat similar, yet different than shantung. Naturally, silk has different thicknesses and for bourette, it is desirable to have distinctly different yarns so you get a wonderful texture. Exclusively woven for Fort Belvedere in Italy on heirloom looms, you will not find this fabric anywhere else.

  • Modern Houndstooth Pattern

    While traditional houndstooth, dogtooth, or pepita ties are either printed or jacquard-woven in a smaller pattern, this bourette silk necktie adds character thanks to the natural slubby appearance of the silk material. Whether it is paired with a business suit, sportscoat, or casual tweed jacket, this houndstooth pattern will pair beautifully with solids or other patterns.

  • 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.
