Behind the Bow Tie: R. Hanauer Workshop Tour

Welcome to R. Hanauer! Did you know every single one of our bow ties are handmade in our Fort Mill, South Carolina workshop? Working in a small family business requires the flexibility to wear many hats, and when the cutter is out sick, you can even find founder Randy on the cutting room floor.

Here's a behind the scenes look at how the best tying bow ties come to life.

Ingredients for the perfect handmade bow tie: fine fabrics and threads.

We're proud to offer excellent customer service, all out of the same Fort Mill workshop you see above. If you are unsure about a color or design, just ask. We would be happy to send a free swatch! E-mail us at support@bowties.com or, if you're old fashioned like us, give us a call, 800-514-9707.
