We are very pleased to have found a source for this textured cotton which makes perfect Victorian bow ties. It comes in four different colourways all of which give variety but are pleasingly muted. These bows are essentially long double sided strips which are cut on the bias. This means they tie in a neat and secure bow. The length is designed to wrap twice around the neck before tying at the front. They are not made up which means they can be washed and ironed. 100% cotton. Made in England
