Product Insights
Le 31's Faux-Leather Western Bolo Tie offers a cost-effective alternative to genuine leather bolos at $29 CAD, undercutting them by 40% through direct-to-consumer pricing. Its faux-leather cord provides a traditional aesthetic with immediate comfort and a more upscale feel than vinyl, but sacrifices the patina and softening of real leather over time, and stress at the slide may cause cracking. The black version leans formal, while the standard mechanism ensures full adjustability for most neck sizes, making it a versatile accessory for casual and formal wear.
Verified claims
- Material
- Faux-leather cord (listed as 'Other materials') offers traditional look and immediate comfort; stress at the slide may cause cracking.
- Style versatility
- Among black and brown options, black projects a more formal silhouette.
- Adjustability
- The slide uses a spring-loaded or friction clamp mechanism that grips the cord, so it can be adjusted to the collar and stays in place without slipping.
- Cord feel
- Braided faux leather cord is flexible, has a natural drape, and requires no break-in.
- Hand feel
- More upscale hand-feel than vinyl; consistent flexibility without genuine leather's break-in.
- Styling
- The black braided cord works for both casual and formal styling.
- Care
- The flexible faux-leather cord is comfortable for all-day wear right from the first use.
- Fit
- The sliding metallic insert allows the bolo tie to be adjusted to sit at the collar.
- Size range
- The exact adjustable neck-size range is not specified, but standard bolo ties of this style typically accommodate about 14 to 20 inches.
- Aging
- Faux leather cord does not develop patina or soften with use.
- Pricing
- At $29 CAD, matching other Le 31 styles and ~35% less than genuine leather bolos.
- Cord care
- To avoid premature cracking, keep slide adjustments to a minimum and avoid dragging the slide when the cord is wet.
- Adjustment durability
- One buyer reports that adjusting the slide can damage the faux-leather cord unless moved very slowly, and doubts it will last more than a few wears.
- Design origin
- The bolo tie is a Simons-exclusive Le 31 style designed in Canada.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Faux-Leather Western Bolo Tie: Choose this if you want a Western-inspired bolo tie that adds cowboy charm to a collared look, with two thin braided black cords, small metallic tips, and a silver-toned oval slide featuring a sunburst motif and textured border. A sliding metallic insert is intended to adjust the fit, and it comes in one size in Black or Brown. Note that the cord is faux leather and the composition is listed only under the generic category of other materials.[1,3] | Turquoise Stone Geo Medallion Bolo: Choose this if you want a bolo-style necktie with Western-inspired character: two braided black faux leather cords running through an oval antique-like silver-tone slide with a ridged geometric pattern and a smooth turquoise-blue oval cabochon, finished with conical silver-tone metal aglets. It suits a one-size black variant preference and comes from Le 31, described by the retailer as exclusively designed in Canada. Note that the turquoise-look stone is imitation turquoise and the cord is faux rather than genuine leather, so it is a budget-styled piece rather than one made with natural materials.[4,5] | Bolo Lariat Chain: Choose this if you want a stainless steel bolo-style lariat in polished silver, designed in Canada as a Le 31 exclusive, whose two thin snake-style chains form a Y with dangling capped tails. Its sliding metallic buckle with a smooth oval bead allows adjustability, and it comes in one size at a 19.25 inch (49 cm) length.[6,7] |

Nice item
They appear to be well made, we’ll see how they hold up as I don’t believe they’re made for every day use.

Looks cool but..
When you adjust it pretty much destroys the faux leather. You have to move super slow. I can't see this lasting a few wears. Disappointing really
