Bow Ties

[BR Gordon]

Welcome to The FL. I also wore bow ties only for formal affairs; now I wear them whenever I want to dress up casual wear.

[QUOTE=McMurdo;1452780]Thanks Mike
At first they were strictly worn for formal wear but lately I have branched out to wearing them just to wear them, my black bows would just be for formal wear, something like this:


I've also taken to wearing a bow tie at least once or twice a week. I always get comments on it I guess because so few other men are wearing them and they're a bit of a novelty. I live in a college town and I see a few guys wearing them on campus though. By the way, great pocket square!

Thanks, I just picked that one up a few weeks ago, I`ll probably wear my new bow tie tomorrow with another pocket square I found today.

...and from about a month ago,



the quarterly gathering of our church association at a Sunday evening worship brought the bow ties out... (taken with son's cell phone camera)

edit: the faces are sort of smudged over because I didn't get an okay from the other guys to post their likenesses on the 'net...

Cool! Another great bow tie & pocket square combo! (Pocket squares have recently become an obsession of mine! ) Are the two pocket squares you've shown in your photos new or vintage?

Wonderfully co-ordinated without being exactly matched - perfection!

Thanks Edward, I found the bow tie a week or so ago and the pocket square yesterday.

They are both new, I have yet to find any good vintage bow ties or pocket squares in my area but I think I will have to search a bit farther a field.
