Here's one I seldom choose to wear -- I don't love the pattern of the fabric. But it's okay for very occasional wear. The color is a more vivid maroon than it appears in this photo.

I like that a lot! Puts me in mind of a bow version of a lot of my late Forties ties with the bold prints...

Here's my latest acquisition (at the end of the workday, so it's a little lopsided -- it looked better earlier in the day):

I try to get mine to look that nice, but usually give up after 20 minutes of fiddling.

Bow ties need a certain studied nonchalance to work right.

I think the best bow I ever tied still had plenty of inherent nonchalance. They virtually never come out perfect; you can always tell they're hand-tied, which is all I care about.

The other day I tied one while walking down the street I checked it by looking in a car window. I should have got a photo perhaps next time, I did think it look pretty good, and it proved to me that I was getting better at tying a bow tie.

An eighth-grade lad wanted to wear a bow tie for his promotion ceremony and came to me for a "lesson." Knowing from experience that tying a bow tie is a process, not an act, I did the bow for him. First time I'd done it on someone else.

I have many vintage tie-your-owns that I haven't quite mastered, but clip-ons are one of those things that are always kicked in to the corner. I posted that photo just to show their wonderful and whimsical designs. From the amount that were manufactured in the past millions of men must have worn them. I would never wear a clip-on necktie.
