Chess King Bow Tie
A friend posted her son's art work, The Chess King, on Facebook, and I couldn't stop thinking about. The original artwork, done in graphite pencil on white paper, stayed in my mind, calling out to me to work with the design and turn it into a bow tie and necktie. I had to up my Photoshop game to get it to work, and I'm really happy with how both the bow tie and necktie end result. A portion of the sale of either of these ties goes to the original artist, who is currently a student at the Maine School of Science and Mathematics.
COTTON-100% Organic Cotton Sateen, printed using environmentally responsible inks. Printed in the United States.
•This bow tie is custom printed to order, just for you. Once you choose the tying style you want to order, the words “In Stock” mean that I will order this fabric to be custom printed for you. The tie itself is not in stock and ready to ship. It will take 7-14 days for me to receive the fabric and then make your tie for you. It can take between 10-21 days from the day I receive your order until the day I mail it.
•Are you concerned that my standard, adjustable length will not be long enough for you to tie comfortably around your neck?
No problem! Since I make each tie to order, just mention your neck size in the comment section while you are checking out. I will cut your band length longer so that you will have plenty of room to comfortably tie your bow tie.
