Bow Ties

[MikeBravo]

Well after trying for hours and watching the you-tube video I allmost gave up. Then I heard at the begining of the video where the Haberdashery was located and realized I was less then ten miles from the store. A quick trip and a lesson llater and I can tie my own bow ties. Now I just need to get a couple of them on the cheep. All I have right now is a black silk one that picked up to go with my dress uniform. Thank you for the assistance,

Edward

I just saw this thread...not sure how I missed it before. I wear a bow tie often...I'm pretty much the only one in my area who does, but after a few strange looks when I first started wearing them, people became accustomed to them. I find that when I wear one on a trip to pretty much any city, I get a lot of positive compliments. I believe that a bow tie, paired with a great hat, is a winning combo.

Thanks for the link. I like their 2" bowties.

I've bought quite a few bow ties from them. Fast free shipping and reasonably priced.

Now I know why I have such a hard time finding bow ties I like. Bugsy is buying them all!

I have about a half dozen of their ties, and I'm impressed with the quality, especially considering the price. Once you order from them, you'll get an email about once per season when they add new ties, and they'll sometimes run free shipping promos, too.

I'm going to have to examine this site more thoroughly today. I saw a lot of stuff I like. Although I wasnt aware that bikers and pirates wore bow ties:

This is the only bow tie I have that is more than 2'' wide, but I liked the colours. It is 2 1/4", which I believe is the upper limit my facial features can support.

It has a very much "Black Watch-like" air as regards to colours, but it is striped, not plaid.

I like the blackwatch look.

Wore my green with red Santas bow tie today, and got several compliments. A couple of comments were centered around the amazement that it was hand-tied. No picture, however.

I would bet EVERY regular one at this thread has received that kind of comment, and always will. Having in account lots of men can not even do a single type of (long) neck tie knot, it is not that unexpected, I guess.

 

[thebroker]

More than once, when somebody has asked me about my bow tie being hand-tied, I've been met with skepticism. I usually just say "well if you don't believe me, here, pull on the two single sides, and I'll tie it back for you to see.". Makes the novelty even neater.

 

[Machine Ager]

I am going to try tying one myself when I get a chance

Found this instruction online from Cambridge University print it out and attach by a mirror.
