CBP's answer: D. D: 6215.90.0015
A woven cotton bow tie is a made up article of any textile fabric other than knitted, so it goes in Chapter 62 (Note 1), and Chapter 61 covers only knitted or crocheted articles, which rules out the 6117 choices. Within heading 6215, 6215.10 is for silk, and cotton falls under 6215.90.0015 (other textile materials, of cotton), so D is right.
This chapter applies only to made up articles of any textile fabric other than wadding, excluding knitted or crocheted articles Chapter 62, Note 1
