Ties for Schools, Academies and Colleges
Choose from stock school ties, special stripes woven to your colours, or ties with your school crest. Every range comes in standard, clip-on and elasticated versions for pupils of all ages, with a minimum order of 25 ties.

67 colourways in four classic styles: plain, single stripe, double stripe and equal stripe. Despatched in about 3–5 days, ideal for new intakes and top-ups.
ELASTICATED TIES
Pre-tied on a comfortable elastic neckband, so there's no knot to tie. Quick to put on and ideal for infant and junior pupils.
UNIVERSITY & COLLEGE TIES
Ties in your university or college colours, with or without a woven crest. Popular for graduation, societies and sports teams.
SPECIAL STRIPE TIES
Keep your school's exact stripe or design a new one. Send us your current tie or a photo and we'll match it. Once you accept our quote, we prepare the design and weave a sample for you to approve before production. About 3–4 weeks.
CLIP-ON TIES
Pre-tied with a clip fastening at the back that comes away safely if pulled. Popular with primary and secondary schools, in a choice of lengths and blade widths.
LEAVERS' TIES
A keepsake for Year 6, Year 11 or Year 13 leavers, with the year, school crest or the names of the whole year group woven in.
LOGO & CREST TIES
Your school crest woven below the knot or as an all-over repeat, or printed in full colour. Once you accept our quote, we prepare your artwork as part of the order. About 4–6 weeks.
SIXTH FORM, PREFECT & HOUSE TIES
Mark out sixth formers, prefects and houses with a different colourway, stripe or crest that matches your main school tie. For house ties, the same design can be made in each house colour.
