Stacy Stewart Smith Black Silk Hand-Painted Self Bow Tie
Description
The essential accessory for every gentleman's wardrobe comes not merely in the form of a black tie, but Stacy Stewart Smith's Black Silk Hand-Painted Self Bow Tie. The face features a curvy arabesque pattern and the reverse a crosshatch plaid — both tone on tone in onyx, yielding the utmost in formal attire.
Each piece is one of a kind and made to size. No two are identical. The hand of the painter is present in every stroke.

Care
Stacy Stewart Smith offers made-to-order garments, fine art, and digital publications — each requiring different care. Please refer to the product description for care and handling instructions specific to your purchase. For garments: dry clean or spot clean unless otherwise noted; do not machine wash. For fine art: keep away from direct sunlight and humidity; handle with clean, dry hands or cotton gloves. For digital products and publications: no physical care required; download and archive your files upon receipt.
Design
Every Stacy Stewart Smith piece begins as a drawing and ends as a decision — a deliberate choice of textile, construction method, and proportion made by a single designer with five decades of practice. The same eye that composes a painting composes a coat: line, weight, negative space, and the relationship between form and the body that inhabits it. Garments are produced in New York City, one at a time, to the measurements and preferences of the individual client. No two pieces are identical. No production run exists. This is not manufacturing — it is making.
The atelier sources textiles for their hand, weight, and longevity. Sustainability here is not a campaign. It is the natural consequence of making only what is wanted, from materials chosen to last, by a craftsman who will not put his name on anything less.
