Bow ties: Hip. Classic. Formal. Yet still rebellious! The Eleventh Doctor says they're cool, and who are we to argue with a Timelord?
► SHOWN: dark coral ink on cream
► This is a self-tie or "freestyle" bow tie, (the cool kind you tie yourself). The ties are fully adjustable and are traditional, no hook.
►REVERSIBLE! The pattern is printed on one side - switch it around to experiment showing less of the pattern, subtly peeking a little bit out.
►Our bow ties are made of a soft microfiber, having almost the same hand as real silk and are hand printed with high-quality, non-toxic, waterbased ink. Vegan safe.
