My wife Kirsten and I started the Cotton Bow Tie Co. because we wanted to create fashion-forward bow ties inspired by current trends in couture menswear and street style. The fact that bow ties are a traditional accessory doesn't mean they have to be created in drab, dated paisleys and conservative colors!

We make our bow ties from recycled fabrics and crisp cotton prints that we source from our wonderful local suppliers here in Ithaca, NY. Our bow ties are all traditional self-tie, but they also feature a fully adjustable hooked closure at the back. The hook is doubly convenient because the tie does not need to be re-tied every time it is worn. If you don't know how to tie a bow tie, never fear! We pre-tie all of our pieces before shipping them out and include easy-to-use tying instructions in every package. We also construct our bow ties in a slimmer, sweeter silhouette than the common "thistle" pattern, and our recognizable, fashion-forward shape sets us apart from other bow tie brands.

One of our favorite parts of this business is consulting with engaged couples and creating a bow tie collection that features the perfect fabrics and colors for their wedding day. We offer pre-made collections on our Etsy site and also take custom orders of all kinds. Our shipping is always affordable, and always free for orders of five or more!
