    Premium silk is the ideal material for formal bow ties due to its luxurious sheen, excellent drape, and sophisticated appearance, complementing tuxedos and formal suits impeccably.

  • How do I choose between different bow tie shapes?

    Butterfly bow ties offer a traditional, versatile look ideal for most formal occasions. Batwing bow ties provide a sleeker, modern appearance suitable for contemporary styles, while single-end bow ties add distinctive elegance, especially suited for white tie and ultra-formal events.
