Where to buy a slimmer formal bowtie?

[Phoenix]

I'm looking for a satin butterfly bowtie, 2" - 2 1/8". Here's what I've found on google:

Any suggestions for better price/quality sellers/makers? Also, any sources for fixed-length formal bowties of this type?

You might try Beau Ties Ltd. of Vermont (www.beautiesltd.com). They can certainly make you a slimmer bowtie and can probably custom-make you (at modest extra charge) one made to exact size without the adjustment doohickus.

You are not going to find an appreciably better price than $38 (except on sale/closeout items). The price spectrum for bowties is very narrow compared to four-in-hands--about $35 to $50.

I have used Beau Ties more for ascots than bowties, but I have found them a very nice outfit to work with.

Beau Ties is a good option. Not a better price, but (slightly) better quality is Hanauer, which offers several widths.

Carrot and Gibbs also offer a slimmer bowtie (from 3.5 inches all the way down to 1.75 inches) as well as custom options. I've used them, and the service and quality is good.
