New waist coat, bow tie, and way to wear a watch chain

[davedove]

Under no circumstances should you attempt to tie your tie any better than you have. Why should life imitate fake bow ties? It looks fine the way it is.

Aye, a "perfect" tie is the very blatant sign of a pre-tied tie!

Well done Jamie! Of course I more than approve of the bow tie. One of the things I love about the bow tie is the unique character each assumes from the tying style of the owner.

I agree with these sentiments entirely, but I also understand Jamie's angst. Because we so often see the pre-tied bow ties (because so few folks wear a bow tie anymore) we feel funny when a tie we have tied doesn't look perfect. I just started tying my own bow tie and feel the same way.

It's just something we have to deal with in our own way.

I think that is a very nice combination indeed.

Hmmm, perhaps I should try to find a brown, wool bow tie to go with my daywear outfit... But I only seem to find pre tied in non-black colors... Or at least the ones under fifty dollars.

Try Beau Ties Limited or The Bow Tie Club. Google searches will bring both up. I've had nothing but good service and merchandise from the Bow Tie Club.

Cool. Thanks. I need to replace my black one anyway.

Jamie,

You always do such a great job coordinating your outfits. You look so dapper. It's always inspiring to see your photo's.

[Jack Daw]

That's a snazzy look, Jamie.

Looks grand, and I agree with the rest- a proper hand ties bow tie should be a little "askew"
