Diagonal cut black formal bow tie - WANTED please

[PADDY]

Just decided to go to a 25 year reunion of my old school. Dress is 'black tie.' I've been tryng to find a vintage bow tie to compliment my 1938 DB tux, but to no avail [huh] I'm trying for a diagonal cut one (you know, the ends look like the end of a normal neck tie), but not having any luck. If anyone can help me out please (Dinner is the first week of September) then I'd be very grateful.

Thanks in advance gents!!

I love a diamond-cut bow. I had to have one made by Robert Talbot. You might want to check with a local tailor or formalwear shop if you can't find one in a vintage shop.

You mean one end has the butterfly form, the other is just the ribbon that ends?

 

[PADDY]

Yep.

Yes, has that diamond arrowheadish point to it on either side.

Charleston Bows, which is operated by a FL member, should be able to fulfill your needs.

Charleston Bows which Tomasso refers to seems very nice indeed, but apparently they do not take online orders at the moment.

An alternative could be The Bow Tie Club (www.bowtieclub.com). You can select the Diamond Point in Black Satin Silk (http://www.bowtieclub.com/product/17/11)

They have the one you want in satin or Faile(basically grosgrain)

I bought my formal bow from them.

To all you gents...
