    Rob, it looks great. Now you need something a tad less formal to wear in front of Judge McGurk.

    I'd disagree, in this specific case, I think the red tie completes the look FAR better than a bowtie would have.

    I'm not much into the prevailing 'smart', 'dapper', 'sharp' and 'handsome' look opinion, but it sure looks well put together.

    Good job!

    You look great.


    I personally do not like scrunchie (ruche) ties (somewhere Glen and Trefor's nostrils flair and their cheeks twitch) but that is just me. I think that if that sort of tie makes you feel elegant or dashing, then you are going to look far more elegant and dashing wearing one instead of a bow tie (for the sole reason that you feel elegant and dashing*). Hence, you look great.

    Kudos on finding such a good deal.


    Cheers

    * It is very important in life to look and feel elegant and dashing. Rex, Hamish, Glen, Trefor, and a bunch of us understand this. As for you Grant, put the rubber chicken away and we'll talk.

    Congratulations on the PC I'm sure it will see you through many events, as for the rouche tie, I have tried it, in fact I have several of them, however I think that having a bow tie would help as well, as there will be events where you may want to go with one or the other. What Jamie says is true it is very important to look and feel elegant and dashing, I would say feeling elegant is more important, one comes from the other if you feel dashing and elegant you will look dashing and elegant, you can not underestimate the effect attitude has on how you look.

    Dashing can be done by itself but it usually requires a lot of props and a heck of an entrance (i.e. a sword, a white charger, cape of peacock feathers, a really big hat-see Highlander for details)
