Bow Ties

[NewEnglander]

The gentlemen on the faculty at the school at which I teach have a wee tradition of "Bowtie Fridays." I've just joined in (having started up my personal "Waistcoat Wednesdays" last year) and I have to say that I enjoy the variety of the bowtie and that I always get compliments from my students and colleagues. I'd warn those new to the bowtie to allow for a few extra minutes in the morning to get the thing tied properly...it felt like my brain was going to implode the first few times I attempted it...

I tend to wear bow ties just for black tie and white tie events -



The main reason is getting hold of real bow ties (self-tied). For example, I have a pre-tied RAF tie, which cost about £20. I have been quoted £80 for an self-tied one.
