If your question is "can a bow tie be worn with a five button waistcoat" the answer is "yes."

I enthusiastically recommend bow ties:
They don't go out of style.
People think you are clever if you can tie them.
They last a long time as it is nearly impossible to spill something on them.

I decided to try this out a little while ago to see what I thought, I have a PC jacket so this was an experiment just to see what I thought. I will let the photo speak but I thought it could be worn just fine with a 5 button waistcoat, here is the photo

And here I am in a coloured PC with most of the rest staying the same. I think both looks work fine. They may not be that traditional but they do work as far as I'm concerned.

Yes the five button best looks fine to me. What did you think of jock’s idea of a black pc vest with a green barathea argyle?
