BOW TIE
The bow tie is a type of necktie. A modern bow tie is tied using a common shoelace knot, which is also called the bow knot for that reason. It consists of a ribbon of fabric tied around the collar of a shirt in a symmetrical manner so that the two opposite ends form loops.
Bow ties may be made of any fabric material, but most are made from silk, polyester, cotton, or a mixture of fabrics.
Types of Bow Ties
- Pre-tied - the distinctive bow is sewn onto a band that goes around the neck and clips to secure.
- Clip-on - dispense with the band altogether, instead, it clips straight to the collar.
- Freestyle - also known as a "self-tie", or "tie-it-yourself" bow tie. The traditional bow tie, consists of a strip of cloth which the wearer has to tie by hand.
Bow Tie Patterns
Jacob Alexander offers different kinds of bow tie patterns for casual to formal attire.
- Plaid
- Polka Dots
- Stripes
- Solids

FUN FACTS ABOUT BOW TIES
Because bow ties are now common for everyday wear, they are easy to find in any pattern, shape, fabric, and color combination. When it comes to finding the right pattern, use the general rule that “less is more” as a guide. The less embellished the pattern, the more formal it will look.

Got this for my boyfriend to wear for a wedding. It fit perfectly in his pocket and looked just like a pocket square! Will definitely be purchasing other colors.

I had never heard of a pocket square till I had to rent a tux. These are a nice quality touch. I looked at what others had and these looked so much better. Didn't have to trim at all. Fit perfect.

Bought this for a wedding. The pocket square is pre-folded and stitched onto a card. You slip the card into the pocket, the folded square part sticks out, and it looks great. Stays crisply folded and no work whatsoever. You can cut the card if need be if your pocket is too small, for me it was just the right size.
