I have decided to buy a white tie ensemble for a couple upcoming occasions. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find in Paris any bow-tie of cotton pique that is not pre-tied.

Could anybody advise me? I assume such a garment would be available from some London shops by mail-order.

Ordered mine by mail from Turnbull & Asser in London. Budd, too, is an excellent suggestion. Good luck.

In the end, I chose to go with Charvet. As usual, they are quite pricey but the result will, I have no doubt, be faultless.
