i just got a PC off ebay for 45 euro...what a deal never was worn and scot made..now i took a chance and got it with no vest theni got a vest fo 20 euro and my gamble paid off they match perfect...so i saved a few bob there...was a chance worth taking..also been reading about cravats with the PC, honestly i thought they looked well but is the bow tie still the safe option for formal night out? or is there other neckware out there im not aware of for the PC

A self tied bow tie is regarded as the correct way to go.

As to other neckwear, a jabot, Sir Sean Connery notwithstanding, is not suitable for wear with a PC.

Not by me... I have no problem with pre-tied bowties but then it has been said, I have no class.

Thats okay... slip-on shoes work just fine with black tie. ;)

And if you can tie your shoes, you can tie a bow tie. Though as an aside, I tried to tie one on someone else the other day, and it took me a few tries to get the hang of doing it in reverse.
