Velilla 56 bow tie: the classic finishing touch for front-of-house uniforms
A service bow tie is not tied: it goes on in two seconds between tables. This reference has an adjustable elastic, not a self-tie knot, and is made of black polyester satin, the glossy finish that classic front-of-house uniforms demand.
✅ Features
Adjustable elastic: slips on over the head and adjusts to the neck size. No need to know how to tie the knot.
Satin fabric: even sheen, the finish expected in dining rooms, banquets and reception.
100% polyester, 98 g/m²: very light and does not crease in your pocket.
Black: goes with any white shirt, waistcoat and front-of-house trousers.
One size, unisex: a single reference for the whole staff.
👷 Suitable for
Restaurant waiters and maîtres d'.
Banquets, weddings and event catering.
Hotel reception and concierge.
Gaming rooms and casinos.
Front-of-house staff at theatres and auditoriums.
📋 Technical data

Composition: 100% polyester, satin fabric
Weight: 98 g/m²
Fastening: adjustable elastic
Sizing: one size (U), unisex
Colour: black
🧺 Care
Hand wash or machine wash on a delicate, low-temperature programme.
Iron at low temperature and always with a cloth on top: polyester satin marks and loses its sheen under a direct iron.
Do not use bleach: it stains black irreversibly.
Air dry; the tumble dryer slackens the elastic.
💡 Tip: the elastic is the part that wears out first, not the bow. If your staff wear bow ties every day, plan to replace them each season and always keep a couple of spares in the back office: a stretched elastic makes the bow tie droop at the front and ruins the look of the dining room in the middle of dinner service.

What colour is it?
Black only.
Can it be ironed?
Yes, at low temperature and always with a cloth on top, so as not to mark the satin.
Can it go in the tumble dryer?

How often should they be replaced?
The elastic wears out before the bow; with daily use it is best to renew them every season.
