Wooden Bow Tie

Among specialty wood bow ties, this wooden bow tie is the one we hand to anyone who wants a crisp shape that never wilts. The bow is cut from wood, about 3.9 x 1.8 in (10 x 4.5 cm), and fixed on a neck strap, so there is nothing to tie.

Four Wooden Bow Tie Designs to Choose From

Natural wood shows the grain plainly and works with almost any shirt. Triangle pattern wood adds a small geometric repeat that echoes Art Deco lines, nice for a Gatsby party. Zigzag wood is livelier, a good conversation piece at a creative office or a birthday dinner. Engraved wood carries a carved motif you notice up close, and it makes a thoughtful gift for a groom or a best man. Since wood is natural, no two pieces have exactly the same grain.

Where a Wooden Bow Tie Looks Its Best

Wood loves texture: tweed jackets, waistcoats, denim, linen and plain cotton shirts in white, sky blue or olive. It shines at barn and vineyard weddings, harvest festivals, craft-beer tastings and spring garden parties. For a black-tie gala we steer clients toward satin in our bow ties instead.

Wooden Bow Tie FAQ

Do wooden bow ties work for groomsmen?

Yes. Ordering the same design for the whole party gives a rustic, coordinated look, and each man keeps a gift he can wear again.

How do I put it on?

The bow is pre-shaped on a neck strap: wrap the strap under your collar, fasten it at the back and fold the collar down.

Is it made for adults or kids?

It is one adult size. On a small child's collar it would look oversized.
