Frequently Asked Questions

The Bow Tie Guy is a bow tie company unifying the bow tie guys of the world and empowering more people to stand out and be seen. We provide high quality bow ties at an affordable price.

Like most bow tie guys, we’re really good at negotiating and cutting out unnecessary expenses. We buy straight from the manufacturer and sell directly to our customers without any of that middleman nonsense, which keeps costs down on our end, resulting in lower prices for you. Enjoy!

Yes. Very secure. Our website is SSL encrypted (HTTPS vs. HTTP), which means that all pages, content, and financial information are protected to ensure that nothing can be intercepted as it goes over the internet. 

Yes. Each of our manufacturers are vetted through a 6-8 month process to ensure the highest quality of manufacturing is maintained. Nobody likes crappy products.

Currently, we only carry bow ties made of premium silk or cotton, but more coming soon!

Our bow ties are standard 2.5" in height, which the will fit the majority of faces and lapel widths out there. The length of our bow ties are for necks between 14.5” to 20” in size. All bow ties are adjustable based on your specific needs.

We feel strongly that a man should be able to tie his own bow tie, thus about 90% of our bow ties are self-tie bow ties. However, there’s just too much demand for black and white pre-tied bow ties for that last minute wedding emergency, so we do have those.

Our ties are thick as we use extra material during the production process. This slightly increases manufacturing costs, but it’s for good reason. This extra thickness provides for a strong knot for the bow tie guys in the community. Thick bow ties also generally last longer as well.

Although bow ties are generally adept at averting unforeseen spills and splashes, if, on the off chance, you DO spill something on your bow tie, our silk ties are stain resistant but the cotton ties are not. So the next time you frequent a fast casual Tex Mex style establishment, don’t go spilling your hot sauce on your bow tie. 

Most likely, but to know for sure email us: [email protected]. If we don’t have enough in stock, we may be able to accommodate with a special order.

Not yet, but stay tuned as that’s in the works for the near future.

Technically, these bow ties were made with a man’s neck in mind, but if adjusted to the smaller size setting, a woman should be able to wear them, no problem!
