Re: What is your choice for blazer buttons?
{ really like the dark blue blazer and have three of them one for summer, winter and midyear. All three have the same buttons, pewter with a crest. I only paid a few dollars for them at Joanne Fabrics and have had them for years, In my view ,they are perfect.

Re: Fabric for bow ties
Classic The goal is an aesthetic one, to bring the bow tie into the mainstream of business and social dressing, We feel that this is the right approach. Bow ties are cleaner, cheaper, more practical and much more comfortable than long ties. No reason not to wear one except for common aesthetics and ...

Fabric for bow ties
My wife has recently started a business called Glen James Bow Ties. She designs and produces traditional, hand crafted bow ties in woven silk, wool, and silk/wool combinations. We have been more than pleased with our fabric sources thus far, Stephen Walters for silk and Ingles Buchan for wool. We wo...

Tom Keene, economist
Watching Bloomberg this morning I was impressed by the familiar presentation, bow tie and double breasted suit. Perhaps it is just me and that I want to be impressed, for I always wear the former and often the latter. Still, this gentleman always looks so professional and ready to work.

Re: Bow tie with contrast collar ?
Thank you all. I am convinced.
More importantly, has anyone read the bio of David L. Evans. Perhaps we should all try to be more like him.

Bow tie with contrast collar ?
I recently, and happily, have gone taken to wearing bow ties. So much more practical and comfortable. In my long tie days, I occasionally wore a pale blue or grey shirt with contrasting white collar. I have never worn these with a bow tie and my inclination still says no. But I thought that I would ...

Re: Last Bow Tie Day
True enough, the bow tie shows more shirt. There are a number of ways to deal with this. Vest, slipover, double breasted coat, or a shirt that has some interest on its own, such as a check. One could also ask, is this an issue in the first place? Consider the dinner jacket which traditionally has on...

Re: Last Bow Tie Day
Thank you all for the thoughtful comments. After reading my own post from the twelfth night, I decided to extend my bow tie wearing for a week, then two. I'm still wearing them. Gentlemen of the London Lounge, this is an idea whose time has come. Cleaner, neater, generally more casual but can be mor...

Re: Last Bow Tie Day
Melcombe, Interesting that you should mention the UK. I was there on holiday in the late winter of 2019. I saw very few bow ties, yet mine seemed to be appreciated. I often wear them to cultural events like concerts, plays, museum trips, whisky tastings so a trip to the UK was a bow tie event for me...

Last Bow Tie Day
I normally wear bow ties from Advent through Christmastide to set this special time on the calendar apart and remind myself not to work too hard. However, bow ties have so many merits that I'm tempted to wear them more often. They are less expensive. You can get them made to measure in hundreds of p...

The Tartan Tie
Now that cool weather is approaching, I renew my advocacy for this fine wool tie, Traditional, yet colorful, formal or casual, universally acceptable, It holds a knot better than any silk. You can get it in literally hundreds of patterns and colors. One third the cost of silk. Always stylish,
