Ancient Madder Silk Bow Tie in Green with Blue and Orange Diamond Micropattern - Fort Belvedere

About this video

The Gazette team examines an English madder silk bow tie in bottle green, madder blue, burnt orange and red, explaining its classic country aesthetic, premium construction through hand screen printing and dye processes, and versatile styling applications from casual country wear to business settings.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that subdued, dull colors with intricate detail create an elegant English country bow tie aesthetic that sparkles subtly rather than making a flashy statement
• The Gazette team notes that the English silk undergoes hand screen printing for each color plus dye and discharge processes, resulting in a soft, chalky texture and commanding a premium price
• The Gazette team recommends pairing this bow tie with solid or semi-solid garments like tweed, twill, pinpoint or small houndstooth, and suggests it works for both casual country outfits and business wear due to its subdued palette
