Whitman Bow Tie

Butterfly 2-3/4”  

The standard bearer of all bow ties! Our 2-3/4” butterfly is our most popular and versatile shape. Designs are created with the 2-3/4” butterfly in mind so the patterns fit perfectly for this size.

Note: This 2-3/4" medium sized butterfly is slightly larger than what you find in retail stores. For a smaller comparable bow tie, please see our Butterfly 2-1/4" below.

Self Tie

By far the most popular bow tie we sell is the self tie. The self tie is the epitome of bow tie style since you can tie it exactly how you like it. Make it slightly askew to tell the world you tied it yourself. Once you learn to tie a bow tie you become a member of an exclusive group that ties their own bows! Our self tie is a step above the competition with beautiful jewelry quality cast buckles that adjusts the neckband to your exact specification. No messing with limited settings on button or hook adjusters, ours simply slides to any setting you choose.

Pre-tied

Our pre-tied bow ties are actual self-tie bow ties that we individually hand knot and then our seamstresses permanently lock tight with an invisible stitch. This way, even an expert bowtier would not be able to tell whether you tied it or knot! The second mark of a well made pre-tied is a quality hook and clasp to attach the neckband. Our clasp is really something special with the look and feel of fine jewelry.

Clip-on

The clip-on is quick to put on or take off, plus it fits easily in your pocket when not in use! The metal clip on the back of the bow tie attaches directly to the shirt collar.
