Erm, my sarcasm meter seems to be broken, are FTB and DDML really e-fighting?

Because, well, then my money would be on DDML since he has a french knife...

More for the palatte that's comfortable with copper, though. Certainly not for those who only dabble in low-end fibre-optics.

If you want a cool bow tie, then either go ultra oversized floppy lanvin style, if you can pull that off, or very skinny like that BoO one, but i agree that self tie is the most important thing, any good self tie instantly puts you above most men.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet but Lanvin velvet floppy bowties are pre-tied. Also, the super-skinny Dior Homme ties (regular, not bow) were all pre-tied. Not that that justifies pre-tied ties; I'm just noting the irony in trashing a type of tie by recommending another pre-tied tie is all.

I absolutely love bowties. Here are my three favorites:

from left to right:

Ralph Lauren (silk): I love the way pointed bowties tie; it looks really classy and has a lot of character and is shapely while still being narrow.

Band of Outsiders (some sort of wool/cashmere/silk blend I think): My first bowtie. I really love the way narrow bowties look, and the white and black stripes on grey looks awesome.

Thom Browne (wool): I really like wearing this one untied. See below:

Because it's so narrow and squared-off, it looks almost as if it were a really tiny regular tie -- to my eye, that's an awesome look.

i hate that bondage element in TB's collections...especially that recent one where he had everyone tie their sleeves behind their backs.

leroi you need to understand that a lot of the people on this site are poseurs, and don't really know what they're talking about.

I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about. Save the medicated insights for facebook/etc

FWIW regarding slim bow ties, both Beauties & the Bow Tie Club offer either 'batwing' style or straight edge, which is pretty small (1.75" inches iirc)

[fade to black2]

hah...i like how you assumed i was talking about you specifically.

[macuser3of5]

I wasn't much of a leap, baby. I know you love me, stop pretending <3

We must squash this beef. Only love.

i was specifically talking about the "elite idiots" class. i guess you could be in it but i really meant people who are holier than thou with 5 dollars in their closet, 2 in their pocket. those who talk smack while wearing an AA tshirt, APC jeans, and shitty running shoes, who never even crossed a Barneys threshold. looked at two collections on style.com and thought they were "above it." wack wannabe illuminati.

Isn't Oscar Wilde a notorious homosexual?

church.

how you gonna talk fashion when you have zero real life experience with it...im not sayin you gotta buy every collection, but at least have some insight into fabric, cutting technique, silhouette, designers' signature techniques, etc. up close in the flesh.

i dont really notice the fashion threads on this board enough to comment, but this was a big problem with TFS.

I like bowties quite a bit but pictures like these ruin it

and then bowtie necklaces,

[Liberation1945]

^ the cardigan is ehh, but if you took out the female for a good looking dude, that'd be a legit outfit.

[mlwdp]

Those bowtie outfits were terrible. Everytime I see a bowtie, I think of either that old guy who use to do Six Flags commercials or Ross Perot.

[onemancult]

1. that itsnt a bowtie necklace. that's a bow. there is a difference. girls wear bows.

2. that middle outfit is good.
