Thread: Bow ties

Zip, that indeed is me, sitting in a gondola and nearing the top of Loon Mountain in New Hampshire where the actual wedding took place.

Well then, you definitely NAILED the bow tie ensemble my friend. Very well done indeed.

Again, lunch at a local club today, and it's dress, so I'm wearing a bow tie. I may be the only man there with a bow, but someone has to buck the trend. They are lucky I'm not wearing full Derby Apparel, or they'd also have to endure my Fedora hat and horse racing bow tie with matching pocket square and horse&Jockey lapel pin with horse cuff links.

Funny. I never watched "Family Guy" so snippets like that are all new to me.

Learning to tie a bow tie is really easy. There is just one trick where you slip the bow through a loop in the back, and that's it. Once you master that, and it only takes a small amount of practice, you are good to go. My father taught me in about 10 minutes when I was in my 20s and needed to start weairng a Tux to black tie events, but a video may take someone longer to master the bow. There are dozens of decent bow tie tutorials on Youtube. Like this one. The narrator imitating Matthew McConaughey does an incredible impersonation of McConaughhey.
