Thanks everyone - excellent advice and this week we're off to the tailor's to get him measured up and choose materials etc. I want to allow plenty time for the June event.

We’ll be getting a ready-made bow-tie for now (I don’t think DIY are available anyway). I think real bow-ties are classier, especially when untied late in the evening and the ends left to hang down.

Are real bow-ties difficult to tie ? I’ve seen step-by-step diagrams which look reasonably manageable, but seeing and doing can be entirely different !

What’s your experiences ?

Real Bow-ties are easy after the first two or three try's.
First time was hard looking in the mirror then I tried just closing my eyes and thinking it was a shoe lace.
