Self tie or pre-tied bow ties?

Generally speaking the pretied bow tie is often found in the lower end bow tie category, where the bow has been simply finished in the center, which does not create an "real tied" look.

Some brands however have in the high-end ($100+) some excellent pre-tied bow ties. The pre-tied bow tie is easier when you have to get ready for you black tie event, and is a solid option to get an consistent look of the bow tie. I still suggest to wear the bow for a while when walking at the door, check how it looks after 15 minutes and adjust slightly when needed. Shop some of the best bow ties in the world.

The pre-tied bow tie can be produced with not even a full pieces of silk to create a butterfly bow tie, as done for generations. However Tom Ford bow ties, which where self tie, but sold (pre-) tied 10 years ago, are the last few season still made from scratch, tied in to a beautiful full knot, have the 100% self tie look, but then with a little stitch in the back center keeping it all together, which ensures a consistent look but does not allow to adjust the bow a bit to your own likings (the specialist in Italy made a nice tied bow tie for you, so why do we like to change that?).

The self tie bow tie (tie your own TYO) is a great option for an authentic look, but do not expect as a newbee to get a perfectly tied bow within minutes, starting with some training sessions days before is suggested. The self tie bow tie has that genuine experience of making a great piece of art your self, the center can be tight and straight or has a curved look, the back wings can be exposed popping out just behind the front wings.
