Bow Ties

I wonder if some of the recent resurgence of bow ties is due to celebrities such as Ashton Kutscher wearing them on two and a half men. He wears them frequently and some of them are fairly nice. Or perhaps it simply a case of if you build them they will wear them.

One of my new bowties the wife picked up for me black Friday shopping. This is a Van Heusen

I'd give more credit to Mad Men. Harry-- arguably the show's one decent guy-- wears them in every episode in which he appears.

I have one made of wool (still need to post a photo) and I think the wool fabric allows for a tighter knot. Or at least I seem to get a tighther holding knot with that tie than with my other bow ties.

In the pencil mustache thread people have been posting pics of famous wearers, maybe we could do the same here with famous bow tie wearers

I stumbled across New York jewellery designer Mish Tworkowski who has made the bow tie a trademark of sorts. He's not afraid of mixing patterns either
