Big Bow Tie

Larger than a standard bow, this big bow tie measures about 13 by 11 cm (5.1 by 4.3 in) and is made of soft flannelette velvet. It gives a 1920s evening look more presence. Browse other widths in our bow ties.

Velvet Fabric and Size

Velvet absorbs light, so the bow looks rich even in dark colors. The oversized shape was popular with performers and dandies of the era, and it balances wide lapels well.

Eight Colors

Purple, rose red, white, wine, black, brown, green and royal blue are offered. Wine and green suit autumn weddings; black and white are formal; royal blue and rose red make a statement at parties.

Wearing a Big Bow Tie

Pair it with a wing or turn-down collar and a tuxedo or dark suit. Keep the pocket square smaller and plain, so the bow stays the focus.
