Burgundy Bow Tie?

[Bugbear]

This sounds like a very nice bow tie: Maple Leaf - fall bow tie - Beau Ties Ltd. of Vermont.


I think I will keep that one in mind. Unfortunatly, I am having a little dificulty finding non-tartan wool bow ties.

It might end up that I have to have a wool four-in-hand tie made into a bow tie, or something like that.

Ted, I don't quite understand - Why does the bow-tie have to be wool? I own almost 100 ties (was 123, but I had a cull) and only two of them are wool (both tartan). All my bow-ties are silk or velvet. I think you will have real problems finding a wool tie - long or bow.

I like the texture of wool. I have a few wool four-in-hand ties and they are my favorites.

I don't mind silk bow ties, or cotton either. It's just that I would like to have one wool bow tie with browns and maybe a little red in it.

However, I like the description of the bow tie at the link I posted, so I might get that one at some point.

I wish you well on your mission Ted, but I think it might take a long time. But then the US is a big country and is very diverse, you might find one next week for all I know. Good Luck.

I've found a lot of wool ties, usually in charity shops. I like them, though I've only got one. Never seen a wool bow for sale, though I've seen a couple worn.

Ted, you're my hero for that link to Beau Ties' conversion. I've been wondering how to get just enough silk to make a bow, it never occured to me to use a necktie. I've got 6 bowties, but I'd like one with diamond pointed ends. They're hard to find used and even though Ralph Lauren and Carrot and Gibbs carry them, I can't afford new.
