Ordered this bow tie because I’m a sucker for the colors, and couldn’t be happier with the purchase. The tie obviously goes with nearly anything and is a quality piece of neckwear. Thanks once again Gentleman’s Gazette!

How to Style a Bow Tie

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.

Outstanding Orange

Meet the Happiest Color

Frank Sinatra called orange "the happiest color," and it wasn't just because it set off Old Blue Eyes' peepers so well. Orange is vibrant and dynamic, conveying a sense of can-do moxie and limitless confidence. When you wear orange, you're ready for anything, and so is this delightfully dapper tie. 

The Neatness of Neats

Once a neckwear that rivaled long neckties in popularity, bow ties are now consider the domain of the well-dressed and the refined who like to style themselves just a little differently. We leaned into that thinking with this tie, combining an elegant, understand pattern - timeless and versatile Macclesfield neats - with an especially charming and unique shade of orange.

The regimented appearance of the neats give this bow tie a certain gravity, meaning that when your other accessories are appropriately formal, you could easily wear this neckwear in most contemporary offices. Conversely, when making social calls, this bow tie steals attention without stealing the show, drawing eyes to you. 

In the evening, this bow tie can be worn on numerous casual occasions when you want to dress up but keep things fun. This could make it ideal for a first date when you want to make a good impression that is delightfully subtle and will linger well into the second date.  

Dimensions

When tied, this bow tie is approximately 4" by 2" | 10 cm by 5 cm.

The Finest Silk in the World

Sourcing Superior Silk Fabric

Silk has long been heralded as a superior material choice when it comes to neckwear. Its silky texture encourages clean lines, it takes dyes with minimal bleeding, and its tight weave ensures a refined and classic drape. As with any luxury product, however, a products origins are everything.

That is why we source our silk fabrics from only the finest heritage houses in Europe, primarily in England and Italy. The craftsmen of these nations have developed a reputation for silk production that goes back millennia, and to this day, we insist up working with only the finest artisans in this field.

Impeccable Workmanship

When it came to crafting this exceptional fabric into neckwear, however, we made a fascinating discovery: when comparing products made by artisans across the world, it was in a tucked-away workshop in Vietnam that we found the most precise stitching, the most extensive handiwork, and the best overall product.

We believe that results should speak for themselves, which is how this little facility won out on our contract over factories in England, Italy, and even Germany.

Simple Adjustable Sizing

Your bow tie has an adjustable neck size, meaning that it can be altered to accommodate your desired fit and comfort.

Simply remove the metal t-bar from the sizing loop and increase or decrease the length of the bow tie as needed, reinserting the bar into the desired slot when you have found your desired size.

Care

Cleaning

Do not immerse your silk bow tie in water when cleaning, 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 tie 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

After use, always untie your bow tie - do not leave it knotted, as this will work creases into the fabric.

Store your bow tie loose, either hanging up or lying flat: the choice is yours.

To prevent fading, store your neckwear in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.

What makes this silk bow tie with Macclesfield Neats 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.

This bow tie is made from a plush silk fabric that has the rich hues and unique hand that sets that material apart. With its timeless classic pattern, it will be the perfect addition to your neckwear collection.

Adjustable Neck Strap
  • The Highest Quality Silk

    Silk is a top choice for neckwear due to its smooth texture, vibrant dye absorption, and refined drape. While we source our silk from renowned heritage houses in England and Italy, known for their centuries-old craftsmanship, our search for the best neckwear led us to a workshop in Vietnam. There, we discovered unmatched precision in stitching and craftsmanship, surpassing even the renowned factories in England, Italy, and Germany. This Vietnamese facility's superior results earned them our contract, proving that quality speaks for itself.

  • Timeless Macclesfield Neats Pattern

    A Macclesfield Neats pattern is a classic and refined textile design characterized by its small, intricate geometric shapes, often resembling tiny flowers or neat dots. This pattern is traditionally associated with men's silk ties and is named after the town of Macclesfield in England, which was once a hub for silk weaving. The Macclesfield Neats pattern exudes sophistication and is a timeless choice for formal attire, adding a touch of elegance and understated flair to any outfit.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Perfect Bow Tie Size

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

  • 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.

  • 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.
