Shantung Silk Striped Two Tone Bow Tie Brown, Green White

Conquer the Earth with Earthtones

Brown is terribly underutilized in Classic Menswear, so we made brown the centerpiece of this elegant shantung silk tie, brightening it up with the addition of a white and green two-tone stripe for adding color coordination. 

Styling a brown shantung silk bow tie with a green and white stripe requires a keen eye for detail and a sense of classic elegance. Begin by selecting a neutral dress shirt in a color like white, cream, or light blue as the perfect canvas for your bow tie; this will allow the rich texture and unique color combination to truly stand out.

Pair this with a well-tailored suit. Navy or charcoal grey would maintain a professional and polished look, but because the colors of this bow tie are somewhat neutral themselves, you could easily opt for a more bold jacket in green, tan, petrol blue, or camel hair.

For a more cohesive ensemble, incorporate accessories that complement the bow tie's color palette. Consider a pocket square with hints of green or a pair of brown leather oxford shoes to echo the primary color of the tie.

Remember, the key to wearing a statement piece like a shantung silk bow tie is to let it be the focal point of your outfit. Keep other patterns to a minimum to avoid a clash of designs. With these styling tips, your brown shantung silk bow tie with green and white stripes will not only exude confidence but also display an impeccable sense of style.

Superlative Shantung

Shantung silk is a type of silk fabric renowned for its distinctive, textured surface and refined luster.The fabric is characterized by irregular slubs, or slight knots, which occur randomly throughout the textile, giving it a unique tactile quality and visual interest.

Unlike other smoother silks, shantung silk is woven with threads that have varying thicknesses. This results in the signature slubbed texture that sets it apart from other silk fabrics. The resulting fabric exhibits a crisp drape, making it a popular choice for formal attire, luxurious draperies, and sophisticated interior decorations.

At Fort Belvedere, we have enhanced the distinctive qualities of shantung silk by incorporating finer silk yarn of a contrasting hue, creating an exquisite two-tone combination that captures light and accentuates the texture of the silk, all while maintaining an elegant, non-shiny appearance.

Care

Cleaning

Shantung 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 tie 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 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 silk garments.

Wrinkle Removal

To remove wrinkles, never iron the neckwear directly as high heat can ruin the silk. Use a steamer or the iron's steam setting while keeping the iron at least a few inches away from the fabric.

Rotation

Silk fibers need to recover after being tied, so rotate your neckwear, allowing them to rest between wears.

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 silk tie hanging, flat, or in a very loose roll.

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.
