Tweed Bow Ties
Bow ties in British tweed
The tweed bow tie is the more rustic sister of the silk bow tie: matt instead of shiny, with the tactile surface of tweed. At John Crocket, the tweed bow ties are made of British tweed, including cloths from the mills Lovat and Moon.
The patterns stay understated, with muted checks, mottled tones and the earthy colours of tweed. That makes the tweed bow tie a match for a tweed jacket as well as a calm contrast to a smooth suit.
Tweed needs little care. Brush the bow tie out carefully after wearing and have it dry-cleaned if needed. Wool reacts sensitively to machine washing.
Smooth styles can be found in the bow tie collection, complemented by ties and pocket squares in silk.
