Jämä Bow Tie & Handkerchief set

For the modern conservative gentleman, proper butch or generally eccentric personality, here's an accessory that will identify the quality of your character: a fixed length bow tie of the self-tie type, emblazoned with a cool M05 winter camo pattern, and a matching handkerchief. Guaranteed to spark a conversation and attract admiring looks.

It should go without saying that a formal dinner bow-tie should be black, but anything else is free range. Only your imagination and sense of style are the limits! While we are on the topic of style, this is naturally a self-tie type. Instructions are provided in the product pictures.

Comes with a hanger sleeve made of Finnish army wool. The camo fabric comes from leftover bits and pieces, as you may expect with Jämä brand stuff.

Sizing

The sweet spot is around 40-42 cm (16" - 16.5") neck size, give or take some. The knot requires more material due to fabric thickness, so the overall length is longer than usual. The vertical size is large to let the pattern breathe visually.

• Total length: 92 cm or 36"
• Bow length: 21 cm or 8 1/4"
• Vertical end height: 6.5 cm or 2 9/16"

Handkerchief: 24 cm (9.5") square.

Jämä is upcycled surplus

Jämä is a Finnish word meaning leftovers or scraps. It’s also one of our house brands for equipment made from recycled or surplus materials. From time to time we accumulate stuff that doesn't sell well but is made out of outstanding materials. We've also got several capable seamstresses here, and the equation is pretty clear: cut that useless stuff apart and sew it back together to create something useful.

Because Finnish labour is one of the most expensive in the world, these are very simple, practical and rugged in design. Our development and prototype production remains in-house while most of the production is outsourced to Turku - still within Finland. Simplicity means strength: the fewer parts there are, the smaller the chance of breaking anything.
