Hi all. I'm in the UK, looking for the above. I would be interested in any style - SB/DB, town/country (though town preferred), 3-piece preferable. J

I'd love to be in Vienna for ball season - place drop all you like! Since writing the original post, I've had a few occasions to wear bow ties, and it's now become completely natural, which was hard to imagine at first, so definitely worth finding excuses to wear one!

I would say that a black waistcoat is a possibility too - in my head that was a viable alternative in the early C20th. E.g. http://www.blacktieguide.com/History/1900-1919/1900_circa_thegentlemen'spage_crop.jpg

Thanks everyone. I found the following to be usefully specific and detailed: Managed to get it looking good I think.

My bow tie keeps coming out like this... Is it a tying issue or could it be too short? It's one size tie, in theory in the correct size, but wondering if it could do with a little more length. Any thoughts please? I'd like to wear it to an occasion tomorrow but can't at the moment!

So here's the result of a brief experiment... I tied the knot first, then removed it and inserted the tie into the collar, with the knot as close to the right side of the collar as possible. Shirt with back of collar attached went on, with tie loop going over the head, then kept the knot on the...

Thanks everyone. Some interesting ideas I haven't heard before. I'll post the results of my experiments on here, once my new collar has arrived...

Thanks! What do you mean by laid-on lapel?
