Our Story
What We Believe
Rocking a bow tie perfectly embodies the idea of standing out — and inspiring others to do the same.
Our Mission
To give our customers wallet-friendly bow ties that meet our three pillars of quality: thickness, heavy fabrics, and interesting textures.
How We Started
The Bow Tie Guy was founded in 2015 by a small team led by Shane Dutka, after noticing that many expensive bow ties — $50 and up — were actually cheaply made, thin, and didn't last very long.
By selling direct to consumer and cutting out the middleman, we were able to build a line of bow ties that are heavier, with more substantial fabrics and luxurious textures. The result: a bow tie that holds a full knot all day.
Since then, we've stayed laser-focused on delivering that same quality without breaking the bank.
Engineered, Not Just Sewn
Our Luxe Collection is built around LUXEFLEX™, a 3-layer interlining we spent over 12 months engineering so your bow tie keeps its body, flex, and full knot from the first event to the last. Paired with a minimum 16 mm silk weight and woven-in textures, it's the difference you feel the moment you pick one up. Read more about how they're made →
