The Croatians introduced the bow tie to world in the 17th Century.  Thank you!  I’m a huge fan of the bow tie, mostly because it’s a change from the common suit and tie.  For whatever reason, the tiny knot screams fun.

I’ve tried at different points to start a bow tie revolution.  And yet again I am staking my claim.  Gentlemen, let us dawn the bowtie for the sake of men’s fashion.

As summer approached, and the wedding invitations began to pile up (which in case you were unaware, everyone is getting married this summer), I began to ponder outfits.  Yes, it’s true.  I would stand in front of the mirror in my chonies and think… “what ever shall I wear to the ball?”  I wanted another bow tie.  I wanted to start a revolution.

I set out find the perfect bow tie.  The hunt was difficult, mainly because it was like trying to find a purple unicorn.  No one sells bowties.  Needless to say, we are still in the midst of the bow tie revolution, but its moving like a heard of turtles.

I called a friend from a popular TV series, Gossip Girl, and asked if he might wear bowties on the show to gain bow tie exposure.  He has been very gracious.  I think this is the beginning of something beautiful, thank you Chuck Bass.

Although, we support this fashion staple, there are still those who oppose us, and what we stand for:

“The truth is you should never trust anybody who wears a bow tie. A cravat is supposed to point down to accentuate the genitals. Why do you want to trust somebody whose tie points out to accentuate his ears?”

I like my ears and I like the bow tie.
