A Package From Phoenixville, PA ...

[fluter]

well, sounds like you already got your tie, but JC Penny has a tux shirt, black tie, and the little black button embellishments for $27.

That I'd like to see. . I have never noticed formal wear at our Penney's stores. Hmmmm, nor did I know that Warner has a line of foundation garments called "Tuxedo."

... did you find a Menswear store selling real-honest-to-goodness-no-stupid-clip bow ties?

Failing locally--and believe me, I've seen some odd bow ties in shops--- I rely on beautiesltd.com (Beau Ties, get it? (groan)). Should you require a partridge in a pear tree on a bow tie, they can fix you up; but they also have the classics.
