Leather Bow Tie - Handcrafted by Uniformal
Origins of the bow tie
But let’s start at the beginning. The origins of a bow tie are not in France, but in Croatia. Yes, you heard right. At this time the French military forces imitated the necktie. This would help to keep the collars in order during the Thirty Years war in the 17th century.
Pierre Lorillard integrated the bow tie to his black and white fashion sense becoming the Tuxedo. Usually, the bow tie is worn to bring a focus to the neck which helps to stand out the eyes and face. Today a bow tie is worn at special occasions but even just combining a bow tie with jeans it can help you to give that little extra to your outfit. Even in uniforms there is the upcoming trend to use bow ties as a significant part to round up the whole image.
Effects of wearing a bow tie
“When you wear a bow tie, doors open for you. Your posture is a little more erect; your shoulders are a little further back; your style is a little more dynamic. It’s about the reestablishment of the gentleman.” – Dhani Jones
Use a bow tie in your uniforms to light up your bar, restaurant, hotel, or whatever place you have employees with uniforms. You can use different fabrics for a bow tie but a special one is a bow tie made of leather. Sounds nice, huh? And it really is! This will help you not only giving a nice posture, strong shoulders and a dynamic style but most importantly gives you luxuriousness to your uniforms.

Just combine your apron with a leather bow tie. You can choose if you like a Cognac, Espresso, Bordeaux, Sage, Olive, Charcoal or Black colour. We, at Uniformal, offer tied bows. This avoids the struggle to bow a tie and the possibility to be loosened. At every time well styled.
A tip: Make sure to have some leather details on your aprons with the same colour the leather bow tie has. This creates harmony in your whole outfit. To visualize that, look at the picture below. An Espresso coloured bow tie is combined with our aprons. The strap of the aprons has the same colour as the bow tie.
Other types of bow ties? No Problem!
You can style bow ties not only with aprons but also with suites, skirts, and knitwear. Just take a lighter fabric like a silk scarf and tie it to a bow. Sames as with our bespoke uniform designs.
