Choosing an Eton Bow Tie
Eton’s bow tie collection focuses on two classic black self-tie styles designed for formal eveningwear. Both are made from 100% silk in Italy and pair naturally with a white tuxedo shirt and black or midnight navy dinner jacket.
The satin version has a smoother surface and more visible luster, giving it the traditional appearance associated with black-tie clothing. The silk twill version has a finer woven texture and a more understated finish while remaining fully appropriate for formal events.
Both styles use self-tie construction rather than a pre-tied shape. The choice therefore comes down mainly to finish: choose satin for a smoother, shinier appearance or twill when you prefer subtle texture.
