Men's Pre-Folded Triangular Pocket Square

The bow tie is a type of necktie, consisting of a ribbon of fabric tied around the collar of a shirt in a symmetrical manner, forming two opposite loops. Modern bow ties are typically tied using a common shoelace knot, also known as the bow knot.

Bow ties can be made from various fabric materials, including silk, polyester, cotton, or a blend. Types of bow ties include pre-tied, clip-on, and freestyle (self-tie). Pre-tied bow ties have the distinctive bow sewn onto a band that goes around the neck and clips to secure, while clip-on bow ties attach directly to the collar without a band. The traditional freestyle, or "self-tie," bow tie requires the wearer to tie the fabric by hand.

Jacob Alexander offers a variety of bow tie patterns, from casual to formal, including plaid, polka dots, stripes, and solid colors. The general rule when choosing a pattern is "less is more" – the less embellished the pattern, the more formal the appearance.

Interestingly, bow ties have experienced a resurgence in popularity in recent years. They are now commonly worn for everyday occasions, and sales have grown significantly faster than traditional neckties since 2010. In fact, only 1% of adult men know how to tie a bow tie, while 78% of all bow ties sold are pre-tied.

Regarding fun facts, bow ties require less fabric to make than neckties, and the most expensive bow tie ever sold was priced at $78,000. Additionally, August 28th is recognized as National Bow Tie Day.

Jacob Alexander offers a diverse selection of pre-tied bow ties, including polka dot, tone-on-tone corded, striped, American flag, seersucker striped, and solid color styles.
