A simple, high-quality bow tie for the sophisticated adult.
This pointed bow tie is made with a fine
silk fabric used for the lapels of formal men's evening wear such as tailcoats and tuxedos.
The lapel silk fabric used is woven at a small textile workshop in
Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi Prefecture, one of Japan's leading silk fabric producing regions. Fujiyoshida is a historic production area that dates back to the Heian period. This land, where spring water flows from Mount Fuji, has the clean water needed for good dyeing conditions.
In the weaving process, Yamamoto's mixed-weave lapel silk fabric uses as many as 13,000 warp threads in a width of just 47 cm, and the weft uses 120-
denier yarns doubly twisted into an astonishing 240-denier thickness.
By slowly weaving it on a shuttle loom, air is trapped in the fabric, creating a three-dimensional texture, and artisans constantly inspect it for any damage. Dyeing, spinning, warping, and weaving are all carried out under strict quality control, with artisans working for our customers and to create good products.
