The material is a cotton pique textile from Alumo, a Swiss luxury shirt fabric maker with over 100 years of history. It is not worn often, but it is an indispensable bow tie for evening formal tailcoats. Bow ties made from synthetic pique-style fabric can sometimes be found on the market, but bow ties made with genuine cotton pique are extremely rare. In addition, because it is hand-tied, its beautiful shape when tied gives off a very classic feel. This is a highly recommended bow tie to wear with a tailcoat.

While silver and gray ties have been the trend lately, white ties have become quite rare. In the past, white was the mainstream choice for formal ties, but they have become much less common recently. However, it is true that there are still a certain number of customers looking for white ties, so we carry this tie as a standard item. The tie material is woven by a long-established textile mill in Yamanashi Prefecture, founded in 1915. A distinctive feature of this mill is its insistence on the quality of the raw silk thread, using only the highest-quality thread; the textile woven from that thread is also used by overseas luxury brands. Another feature is that, whereas ordinary mills typically use only black or white warp threads, this mill can also weave fabrics prone to defects, such as satin weave, using warp threads of the same color. It is extremely particular about quality. This is a tie we highly recommend to customers looking for a white tie.

This is a striped tie with a luxurious feel, offering a different look from the black-based striped ties often worn with morning dress. It is a Nishijin-ori silk formal tie, carefully woven on a traditional low-speed loom by a long-established Kyoto weaver. By using an elaborate weaving technique that leaves some slack in the weft, the fabric has a soft fullness and a sense of thickness on the surface. The black sections have excellent firmness, and by using a generous amount of deep black satin, the beauty of the black stands out.
