Burgundy Bow Tie?

I think you will have real problems finding a wool tie - long or bow.

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.
