TheBowTieSociety.com is the premier innovator in the bow tie world.
Chuck Blackburn founded the AmericanBowTieSociety.com, the
InternationalBowTieSociety.com, as well as The BowtieSociety.com
Chuck authered the "essential book" on bow ties, BowTieBible.com.
Years ago, Chuck was a manufacturers' rep of fine men's neckwear
to most of the best specialty shops in the US. As a lifelong fan
of bow ties, Chuck felt he knew why bow tie wearers love bow ties.
Bow ties make a positive statement of style, intelligence, and
individuality...when worn properly. Unlike long ties, bow ties serve a
useful purpose and function. And, bow ties are not a slave to the fickle
fashion whimsies (wide-narrow-narrower-wider). Bow ties last longer
and are most becoming when they fit ones eyesockets (approx. 2"x4.5")
Long ties can't provide what bow ties can. So, gentlemen (and their
spouses) gotta know how to buy, tie, and wear bow ties!
Don't pre-tied bow ties look fake, phony, and fool no one?? (editor's opinion)
All this and more are in the BowTie Bible ($25). a hilarious, edifying
hardcover, gold leaf, illustrated, easy read, and a great gift on any
occasion. A must for the interested, or those just curious about what they
don't know; they don't know.
We have developed the first-ever 15-in1Varieties bow tie.
15 different "looks" in one bow tie. It's exactly like getting
fifteen top-quality bow ties for the price of one! We say
"exactly like" because this US handmade Bow tie is not like a
"reversible", has 15 variations to maximize variety you can
quickly alter from one look to another in color and/or pattern
combos that are "just right" for your attire, and perfect for most
any occasion, be it business or pleasure, or anything that suit
your creative side, or mood or whim!
The English poet Willaim Couper wrote in1785, "Variety is the
very spice of life, that gives it all its flavor"

These are 3-part bow ties with skinny G-hooks on both ends of the silk grosgrain sizing ribbon designed to layflat under collar backwithout slipping, stretching, bulging, or fraying as most bow ties are prone to do over time. We hand-make all bow ties(USA)to be no taller than a man’s eye-sockets(eyebrow to cheekbone) apx.2 1/8” . If you ask a circus clown why clownswear bow ties bigger than their faces they will, without pausing, reply “because, itmakesyou look like a CLOWN” . We also offer longer free sizingribbonsfor necks larger than 17 ½ at no extra charge. (Links showing simple instructions for altering variations (looks) are available) . The perfect measurement for a properly sized bow tie is 2 x neck size + 3 inches. That makes the horizontal measurement about 4 ½ “across. That’s about the width of the eye-sockets.
