  • Fabric Made in Italy
  • Individually Sized & Self-Tie
  • Arrives in Handsome Gift Packaging

My previous white bow ties were nasty looking. They had off-colour adjusters and hooks - looked cheap. I now have a Fort Belvedere self-tie that's simple, minimalist in its approach, and elegant. I feel confidant that it is as good as it can get, and catch people glancing at it, and then reflecting on their compromised selections. Well done Fort Belvedere!

Product Info

The Pure Elegance of White Tie

  • Crafted from Sumptuous Marcella Pique Premium Cotton

White Tie Etiquette

A gorgeous white bow tie gives its name to, and is a defining feature of, the White Tie Dress Code, the single most dignified, refined, and formal dress code in menswear. With a formal tailcoat, a white formal bow tie is one of the critical accessories for a glorious full-fig evening outfit.

Because the White Tie dress code is the most formal evening dress code, each of its elements and accessories expresses the epitome of refinement and class. This White Tie bow tie can be worn with any White Tie ensemble and should, in most circumstances, be worn only with White Tie.

While White Tie is the most formal dress code, your bow tie allows for a little touch of personality, such as variation in the breadth of the bows, the tightness or looseness of the knot, and how high it sits upon your neck. The result is a bow tie that is definitively styled your way and that will fit your individual look.

The Timeless Elegance of White Tie

This white marcella pique bow tie perfectly complements any kind of evening tailcoat and single or double-breasted evening waistcoats and vests, and should be worn with a detachable wing collar.

The butterfly-style bow of this bow tie is designed to complement most face shapes and, along with the single-ended bow tie, is the traditional choice for a White Tie bow tie. 

A white bow tie is an essential component of White Tie, but do not forget other fine details! Be sure to include a crisp white linen pocket square  and a refreshing boutonniere as well: traditionally, gentlemen wore a rose or carnation with evening ensembles.

Marcella Pique: The King of Cotton Weaves

Marcella piqué cotton is a woven fabric typically characterized by a geometric pattern with a raised, waffle-like texture. This material is often used in formal evening attire for the bibs of dress shirts and neckwear.

Fort Belvedere has sourced our marcella pique from a heritage Italian mill, allowing us to craft products with only the finest hallmarks of quality construction.

Fabricated using premium cotton yarns, marcella pique is known for its exceptional durability. The double-knit construction enhances the fabric's robustness, ensuring that garments maintain their shape and structure over time.

Marcella pique boasts a distinctive, raised waffle-like texture that adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to clothing. This textured pattern not only contributes to the aesthetic appeal but also adds subtle detailing without the need for additional ornamentation.

Marcella pique resists wrinkling and is relatively easy to care for compared to other fine textiles. It retains its crisp appearance without the need for frequent ironing.

Care

Cleaning

Cotton mercella pique neckwear should not be washed immersed in water as doing so can ruin the texture and color of the fabric. 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 mar the fabric.

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

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 cotton.

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 delicate accessories.

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.

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.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the relative thickness of the material used in our silk velvet bow ties, size up one half. For instance, if your neck measures 16”, please order a size 16.5.

Details & Specs

Small White Marcella Pique Single End Bow Tie - Fort Belvedere

  • Impeccable Italian Cotton Marcella Pique

    The same material from which a White Tie waistcoat and formal evening shirt bib front are made, marcella pique is a unique cotton weave known for its iconic, waffled appearance. Fort Belvedere has sourced marcella pique with an exceptionally luxurious feel and distinct three-dimensional texture from a small, family-owned mill in Italy that produces cotton products of an exceptional quality.

  • Gorgeous Waffled Texture

    The unique waffled appearance of marcella pique is so closely associated with the apex of formal evening attire that it is seen almost nowhere else. As such, this remarkable fabric has become increasingly rare, but we were able to source our supply from an artisanal Italian mill that is, today, one of the few still producing fabric of this caliber.

  • 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.
