Returns
As a made-to-order products company, you get the benefit of careful workmanship and impeccable fabrics in the size and style you like. Not that mass-produced stuff from China.
With that in mind, please carefully review our return policy below.
1. Bow Ties and Neckties - Handmade in Vermont
All of our standard bow ties and standard neckties are returnable for any reason at all – for 60 days after the purchase date – as long as they are in new/unused condition and (preferably) in their original packaging.
So, what's a "standard" bow tie? What's a "standard" necktie?
Our standard bow ties are freestyle slimline bow ties in neck size 15.5"-19.5".
All other sizes and styles of bow ties are made to order and therefore, not returnable. These non-returnable sizes/styles include:
- Butterfly/Jumbo bow ties in all sizes and styles
- Diamond Point bow ties in all sizes and styles
- Very Slimline bow ties in all sizes and styles.
- Pre-tied and Clip-on bow ties in all sizes and styles.
- Club (Rounded) bow ties in all sizes and styles
Our standard neckties are 58” long and 3 1/4" wide. All other lengths and widths are made to order and therefore, are not returnable.
2. Our Other Handmade In Vermont Products
