A simple bow tie with reliable quality for the sophisticated adult.
This is a pointed bow tie made with a high-quality
silk fabric used for the collars of formal men’s wear such as tailcoats and tuxedos.
The
silk facing fabric used is woven at a small textile workshop in
Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi Prefecture, one of Japan’s leading silk fabric production areas. Fujiyoshida is a historic production center that dates back to the Heian period. This land, where spring water from Mount Fuji flows, has the clean water essential for good dyeing.
In the weaving process, Yamamoto’s mixed-weave silk facing fabric uses as many as 13,000 warp threads in a width of just 47 cm, and the weft uses 120-
denier yarns doubled and twisted together to create an astonishing 240-denier thickness.
By slowly weaving on a shuttle loom, the fabric retains air, giving it a three-dimensional texture, and craftsmen constantly inspect it for any flaws. Dyeing, spinning, warping, and weaving are all carried out by craftsmen under strict quality control, to create a better product for our customers.
