Howard's Bow Ties

In recent years, the bow tie has made a remarkable comeback. So, we wanted to give it something new new , a real one stylistic added value .

In such a step, the selection of materials was very important . We are therefore pleased to present our bow ties in tweed and velvet but above all the fabrics used, coming from spinning mills Harris Tweed And Dugdale Bros & Co.

Tweed bow ties

Originating from Scotland , tweed is a thick fabric in carded wool (rough touch) which is mainly distinguished by its threads with multi-colored strands . Particularly warm and resistant , tweed is often used for outerwear such as sports jackets, hunting jackets or even caps.

History of Harris Tweed Fabrics

Harris Tweed is not a weaver or a brand, but a label awarded by the Harris Tweed Authority whose directory includes the houses and craftsmen responding to the “Harris Tweed act of parliament” of 1993:

"Harris Tweed is a tweed that has been hand-woven by islanders, at home, within the very precise perimeter of the Outer Hebrides, and more precisely in the islands of Harris, Lewis, North Uist, Benbecula, South Uist and Barra. The tweed is thus made from pure new wool dyed and spun in this same region of Scotland."

Many armors exist in tweed , we find in particular the famous chevron (herringbone), rooster's foot (Shepherd's check), houndstooth (houndstooth), or even the classic plain weave, then called donegal .

A fabric too luxurious that rustic with a totally new look out of time .

Look ideas

We are planning simple looks And purified to accompany these bows. A pair of brogues, a waxed cotton jacket or even corduroy pants could be excellent choices to accompany a tweed bow tie.

Velvet bow ties

Velvet bow ties have a very different use of the precedents. Dressed , the velvet bow tie is intended for evening wear .

Distinguished by its incomparable quality , Dugdale velvet has been a obvious choice when creating the models.

History of Dugdale Bros & Co. Spinning Mill

Family business Since 1896, Dugdale Bros has been a fabric manufacturer installed in the Yorkshire for whom the preservation of know-how is at the heart of philosophy.

Today, Dugdale remains a independent fabric designer and manufacturer , supplying leading tailors, including Savile Raw .
