Me too, I just bought it so I should get it next week. It looked interesting so I took a chance. I'll have to learn how to tie it before I can post a pick. I've been watching some viideo's on how to do it.

Thanks J.P.

Looks like you're off to a pretty good collection. I don't have any bow ties, but if I'd love to have some as cool as those. I'd definitely put them to use.
Went on a buying spree. I love these clip on's, they have a lot more variety than the self tie ones I've seen so far.
On another note, has anybody had any luck finding a proper vintage or decently modern tie at thrift stores or flea markets? I always have to go online to buy mine.

Now THESE are Clip-Ons! They looked somewhat tied, but one can still tell that they're not the real deal in a good way (and this is coming from a guy who tells people "you can't call it a tie if you can't tie it"). That's also a really cool and probably rare pleated number you've picked up, too. I still fail to understand why the market bothers to waste fabric and sell the "Pre-Tied" variations when people would rather just pop them on like a collar clip.

The only vintage bow, and bow period, that I've found anywhere was at St. Vinny's; a late 1950s-early 1960s brown clip-on with a small white graphic at each end; one was a pipe with smoke, the other side was torn to shreds.
