Silver satin is a standard color for formal neckties, but unlike the silver satin typically used for regular ties, this bow tie uses a thicker silk facing, which tones down the strong sheen while still giving it an elegant, subdued luster and expressing a uniquely rich, tasteful color. It pairs perfectly with black, navy, and gray tuxedos, making it a bow tie especially suited for grooms. Bow ties made with thick silk facing are excellent in many respects, including a substantial feel, refined color, durability, and much more.
