Perforated Tan Automotive Leather Bow Tie

Tan Micro Perforated Automotive Leather Bow Tie. Sourced from the off-cuts of automotive seat leather, it is uniquely Detroit! Rugged yet soft textured cowhide with a suede reverse. Laser cut in house for perfect crisp, modern lines. We've carefully selected hides for both fashion and durability - leather ties are meant to not only span the seasons, but decades.

Leather will get even more awesome with wear. This particular batch is sourced from the highest grade leather used in the automotive industry - for fancy pants cars (and behinds) now for fancy necks! Black nylon coated metal slide adjusters - will not break, harm your shirt or the leather.

We're currently researching the provenance of the actual cars that were outfitted in this style, and from what we can decipher, they were used in the manufacturing of BMW seating.

How are these different than all the other leather bow ties out there? These are "real" self-tie bow ties. The kind big kids wear. If you don't have training wheels on your bike, you shouldn't have a clip-on bow tie, no matter how fun the material!

We do all of our own laser cutting, from pattern drafting to the making the computer and vector file communicate with the laser, to minding it cut, to washing and cleaning the edges and sewing the center seam - every step from start to finish. This is not farmed out to some anonymous laser shop. Our shared laser cutter is located just a block from our screenprinting workshop in Detroit's Historic Eastern Market.
