Bow ties: Yea, or nay?

[don_t_ask]

I don’t wear ties of any description any more but there was one guy at work who always wore a bow tie and universally people thought it looked great. He was a very dapper guy and it just suited him. No-one ever had the nerve to try to emulate him.

I’d wear one if I knew how to tie one…

Here you go.

I own one bow tie. I was on vacation near Acadia National Park about 20 years ago, made a dinner reservation someplace fancy like the Asticou Inn, and hadn’t packed a tie, so I bought one on whim in a Northeast Harbor haberdashery.

I also own a fez, but I keep in on the Phrenology Head.

:eek:I also own a fez and a phrenology head. Are we in some club?

As far as bow ties - if worn with a jacket, they visually complete a triangle whose other sides are your lapels. Thus the center is a space featuring shirt buttons. Kind of a strange look IMHO.
