The Missing Link In Fashion

Subtly proclaim where your passions lie when you don one of designer Bethany Shorb's graphic neckties. From afar, this sleek accessory appears to be printed with a conventional criss-crossed pattern, but a closer look reveals crisp, hand-silkscreened bike chains in a completely unexpected context.

This high-design neckwear links your favorite human powered mode of transportation with your 9-to-5 attire. Whether you're a serious biker with your your spokes set on the Tour de France or you're simply satisfied with the occasional pedal around park, this eye-catching piece lets you show your support for your sport while still keeping your suit looking sharp.


High-quality, water-based inks are hand-silkscreened onto polyester microfiber, so no harmful solvents are required to keep your tie looking crisp. The fine-weave microfiber is a rich, sturdy, yet soft fabric. Handmade in the USA.

      Comments about BIKE CHAIN TIE:

      The black background is a great fit with a black shirt - the subtle chain pattern accentuates the "tone on tone" look not gangster or funeralish. My uncle is 62, an avid cyclist, and frequently travels abroad for business. This tie is a good fit for holidays, work engagements, and the office. He's difficult to buy for....I was pleased to find this jewel on line.

      Shinier than expected

          Comments about BIKE CHAIN TIE:

          The tie is not as subtle as I had hoped. It is very shiny, and a little tacky, not appropriate for the office or formal events, but would work for a stylish guy wearing jeans. The bike chain print looks like it sits on top of the fabric, not integrated, the shine is what kills it for us though.

                      My husband is a competitive cyclist and works in an office setting. I thought that this tie would be a good fit for him. It's fun while still being appropriate. I like the fact that it's subtle enough in the design that a person who may not be a cyclist might not pick out the pattern while a fellow cyclist would get a smile out of it. Quality isn't that of a designer tie by any means but definitely fine. I love it and so does my husband.
