Neckties!

I'm surprised about this, I thought that one was already well covered.
Ok guys... if you want to pool this info together and forward me the details, we'll look at doing a run as this should be a fairly easy project (knock on wood).
If any of the below points can be clarified by photos, scans, etc... that would help us get started.
I have the Tie Bar version which I like but do wish it had the textured pattern to it ala the original/abbyshot versions but since at a distant it wasn't as noticeable I went with the closer dot pattern. Would be cool to see this done right! 
I don't have scans and I'm sure someone may have better pics handy but here's a pretty close pic of the 50th Bow Tie displayed.
A pic from the interwebs of the Tie Bar version.
And the Abbyshot version.

Are the dots printed or woven on the original?
I thought it looked woven but hopefully someone more knowledgeable can say one way or the other. Helpful or not I snipped this bit of info from SR's blog.
"As well as making shirts, Budd produce top quality silk dressing gowns from short run silks sourced from a variety of weavers. Once the gowns are made the off-cuts - so they do not go to waste - are recycled into bow ties!"

The Bow Tie is made from the same material as the Name of the Doctor Bow tie and the Cold War Bow Ties, so if they are woven I guess that the Trenzalore Bow Tie has woven dots and vice versa. I am not sure that a company as posh as Budd would print dots onto silk for bathrobes, however this is all just speculation.
If these are woven or printed because if these are woven then the chances are the screen used was woven and if these are printed the screen used was probably printed, I don't imagine Budd vary woven and printed dots on dressing gowns

This shows the number of dots and shows the shape of the Bow Tie.
I believe this to be a very similar Bow Tie to the Trenzalore,

The "Valiant Tie" is on my to-do list...
Can we get a consensus about the woven versus printed? Woven is probably the way to go. Does anyone have a definitive measurement for the bow tie width?
I was thinking the same as the points above about it being woven but not sure how to confirm it 100%, as for the width not sure either but I do have the Budd shirt that the bow tie in the pic is displayed on not sure if anything could be extrapolated from measuring the placket or in some other way?
