Silk Bow Tie in Dark Navy Blue Glen Check - Pointed End

The Glory of Glen Check

This elegant day bow tie has been woven with a timeless glen check pattern. Glen check is characterized by small and large checks, typically using muted colors that create an irregular checkerboard appearance. In this example, we have opted for a deep shade of navy blue to offer the widest combination of color coordination. 

Start with a crisp white dress shirt as a fail-safe backdrop; it's classic and allows your bow tie to pop. If you desire a bit of contrast, consider light blue or pale pink shirts for a subtle addition of color that complements the navy without clashing.

Moving on to suiting, a charcoal grey suit would be sophisticated and versatile, letting the bow tie take center stage. For a less formal occasion, opt for a blazer in tan or camel – the warm hues contrast nicely with the cool navy, creating a balanced and stylish ensemble. For trousers when not wearing a full suit, go with grey, khaki, or even a softer shade of navy to maintain a complementary palette.

Accessories present another opportunity to harmonize with your bow tie. With pocket squares, you can introduce patterns as long as they are not too bold and stick to the color theme.

Cooler months call for textures like wool or tweed, which pair handsomely with silk bow ties, while summer invites lighter fabrics such as linen or cotton. The overarching principle is balance. Let the bow tie shine and select other pieces to support, not overpower, this statement accessory.

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.

Decadent Silk with a Dignified Pattern

We searched out a heritage silk mill in Italy to produce the fabric for this neckwear. Silk from a small, high-end weaver in Italy offers numerous benefits. The exclusivity of the material ensures that each piece is unique, often reflecting the artisanal expertise and centuries-old weaving traditions of the region. High-quality Italian silk is renowned for its superior strength, natural sheen, and softness, which contribute to both its luxurious feel and durability. Additionally, purchasing from a smaller producer supports local craftsmanship and provides a level of customization and attention to detail that mass-produced fabrics can't match. This bespoke approach to fabric creation allows for a more sustainable production process, with an emphasis on quality over quantity, and often results in a product that is as much a piece of art as it is a textile.

Silk neckwear with a classic check pattern offer a sophisticated blend of style and functionality. Check is a classic design that exudes elegance and can easily be paired with various suit colors and styles, making it a versatile addition to any wardrobe. This iconic pattern also adds a touch of heritage and refinement, distinguishing the wearer in both business and social settings. Its silk material provides a luxurious sheen and smooth texture, ensuring a polished look for any formal occasion. Additionally, silk's natural properties allow the neckwear to hold its shape and resist wrinkles throughout the day.
