This is a bow tie that you can tie and wear for those who are not satisfied with pre-made bow ties.
We use high-quality silk fabric that is used for the collars of men's formal wear such as tailcoats and tuxedos.
The shawl label silk we use is woven in a small textile workshop in Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi Prefecture, one of Japan's leading silk textile regions. Fujiyoshida is a historic silk production area dating back to the Heian period. This land, with spring water from Mt. Fuji, has the clean water necessary for good dyeing.
In the weaving process, Yamamoto's woven shawl label silk uses 13,000 warp threads in a width of just 47cm, and the weft thread is an astonishing 240 denier thread , made by double-twisting 120 denier thread .
Weaving slowly on a shuttle loom allows air to enter the fabric, textile a three-dimensional feel, and our craftsmen are constantly inspecting it for any imperfections. Each step of the dyeing, reeling, warping, and weaving process is carried out by our craftsmen under strict quality control in order to create the best products for our customers.
Furthermore, by experimenting with different tying methods—whether you tie it loosely or tightly—you can enjoy different looks depending on your preference.
The material is made from the shawl label silk used for the lapels of tuxedos, making it a perfect match for tuxedos.
