Which style ties are in the photos on the site?
Almost all ties are shown in the Classic 2 1/2" size.
How do I get
free shipping?
Just order 3 or more ties and shipping is free. Priority mail within the US. Outside, International First Class.
How long before
I’ll get my ties?
I will almost always get your order in the mail within a week. Every tie is
made individually. Large orders may take longer. If there will be a delay, I’ll
email you.
What’s
“casual style”?
This is a pre-tied bow that looks like you tied it yourself. It comes either
with a neckband that hooks in the back or as a clip-on model. It’s a little
more casual than the standard formal pre-tie or clip-on.
What are points?
The ends of the bow have a Diamond or Batwing shape. See an example on the Bow Style page. Not available on the Cowboy Style. There is a box to check yes or no during the ordering
process.
May I send
my favorite old four-in-hand long tie to be remade into a bow?
Most ties can be remade into bows. I have to judge each one. Sometimes there
are worn spots and stains that don’t show up until the tie is taken apart.
It’s a risk if it’s a favorite, but I’ll do the best I can.
Go to Conversions.
May I send
my own fabric?
Yes, about a half yard, small prints are the most suitable. Go to Design
Your Own
for complete instructions.
Why are children’s
bowties for over age 3?
Not safe! Lots of things look like they might be tasty when you’re little.
Why aren’t
all the fabrics made into ties so I can see them better?
I’ll make them up for viewing as fast as I can, I may be a very old
woman by the time it’s done. If you have any questions about a particular
pattern, send a note and I'll be glad to send a sample.
How do I pay?
Mainebows accepts Mastercard, Visa, personal check and money order, US currency
only please.
Who makes the
best cinnamon rolls in Maine?
Moody's’s Diner in Waldoboro, but you'd better be hungry!
