And you wear them well! I actually took some inspiration from seeing your wearing of bow ties in person. I ordered several more bow ties last week from The Tie Bar to add to my available neckwear, and even some matching pocket squares. In fact, I'm wearing one of them today. Though, sadly, not with a kilt.

Not to hijack the thread, but I'm really starting to enjoy wearing bow ties just as often as long ties. My initial intimidation factor on wearing them was just plain silly, and I always get compliments when I wear one. Wearing a bow tie on a regular basis makes it much easier to transition into formal wear mode with ease. I'm now firmly in the pro bow tie camp, thanks in no small part to you.

I could probably fiddle with it to get it "perfectly" tied - especially if dressing up for black tie - but I like a bit of dishevelment in nonformal neckwear.
