just wondering, is this in any way the "British method" in any way that it wouldn't work with a tie purchased in the US? long story short- my dad needs to learn how to tie a bow tie and insists that this way wont work with his tie.
@NikySportsPromotion Hi, in order to tie the bow tie by the method we've shown in the video, it has to be long enough. If you're Dad's tie is a bit short, what we would suggest is that he ties it without the "wrapping round" bit - in other words, it would be much the same as tying a shoe lace - this is perfectly acceptable and a very simple method. Hope that helps!
I really like this method and have found it much easier than passing the second bow behind the first. However, there is a really annoying "page turn" effect right at a crucial bit in this clip that made it much harder to see what is going on. I had to play that part loads of times to get it!
During the day, bow ties can work if they are a busy paisley design for example preferably made from English Madder silk which has lovely muted tones - and worn with an equally busy shirt, such as a Madras check, with a softly constructed collar.
This is a great look for a smart/casual occasion worn with denim.
I'm a bow-tie wearer of 15 years or so... and I've never seen this method before! Just when I thought I'd seen it all!

Can you please do a video of the suits that you have.I was really tempted to splash out yesterday £500,I had to settle for a shirt instead.

A bow tie could certainly be worn during the day but absolutely not with a dinner suit / tuxedo as these are formal eveningware.

do you think it's too formal to wear one during the day?

Bow ties are definitely back in fashion.
During the day, bow ties can work if they are a busy paisley design for example preferably made from English Madder silk which has lovely muted tones - and worn with an equally busy shirt, such as a Madras check, with a softly constructed collar.

this method is useless. Far far far too messy.

we know there are different methods and everyone has a favourite - what would you recommend? Perhaps you could add a video yourself for us to see
