I lived through that period. Yes, some thimblethwaites might have worn such stuff, but to say it was "in style" would have been a real stretch in my neck of the woods.

"thimblethwaites"? I'm guessing it's not complimentary but Google left me high and dry for a definition....

Just enjoy it. You probably guessed right.

I can't even dream to draft a proper response... I apologize for my lack of wit. I can honestly say, that I have an event (an annual event at that!!) already in mind wherein THAT would be the most PERFECT bow tie imaginable!

We have a complete set of fine china with an orange and yellow psychedelic design, a wedding present from my brother. The 1970's call from time to time - they want it back. I remember polyester leisure suits, 8-track tapes, and disco fever. But, I never, ever saw a bowtie like that furry beauty you got there, Nathan! It may be unique (let's hope so, anyway).

I have to admit that I was married in 1975 and wore a black velvet version of a bow tie about the size of your's. Not nearly as "classy" as yours (thank goodness)....

My story is similar. I was married in 1976 in a green velvet version, along with a mint green frilly front shirt and dark green patent leather shoes.
