The Build Your Own Bolo Experience

Make it yours

Austin Bolo’s “Build Your Own Bolo” experience is a unique opportunity for guests to design their own custom bolo tie. Guests will choose from a variety of quality slides, cord, and tips, then relax and socialize while their one-of-a-kind bolo tie is assembled on-site.

Our Bolo Bar offers a little something for everyone, from traditional to modern, colorful to subdued, feminine to masculine. We’ll learn about your group before the event to further tailor the offerings! 

What do you get to choose?

  • Slide

    This is the piece that connects the cord at the front, somewhere under your neck on your torso. The slide has a clasp on the back that holds the cord together and lets you style the bolo tie in a variety of ways by wearing the slide higher or lower. Austin Bolo offers stone, metal, vintage, and unique handmade glass slides.

  • Cord

    This is the slender material (usually leather) that goes around your neck with the two ends hanging down in front. Leather alternatives, such as biodegradable cotton and cork, also work well. Austin Bolo offers leather and non-leather cord options.

  • Tips

    These are the decorative finishes on each end of the cord. Tips can be minimalist and modern or intricate and fanciful. We always bring a wide variety of silver and gold tone tips from which to choose. Premium sterling silver and elegant custom designed tips are also available.
