Hello, I think there is issues on the site. I just tried to use the text on the menu bar and it diverted me to another site which I have never used. Can you aid with this?

I have been wearing them ever since my first one at age 7, my father and grandfather both owre them. I wanted to wear one seing my fahter wear them, and once I learned to tie my own there was no turing back. I guess you could say it runs in the family even now with my two sons wearing them every so often. I also have several in my closet about 50 or so and I think there is 15 or so netween my sons. I too am wearing one right now, and wear them almost everyday.

I am guilty of bowties and tweed on a regular basis. I have a closet full of both. It is so cool here in the Northwest that I can get away with tweed year-round. It’s no drag. It is my tribe’s uniform. Some of the ties and jackets in my closet were my father’s. My teachers and mentors and friends wear them. And it’s not a conservative thing. I’m a lifelong socialist.

I started wearing bowties after finding myself on the wrong end of a burly gentleman who grabbed my long tie and lifted me off my feet. I dangled helplessly as I tried to free myself.

I could have avoided bar fights or started wearing clip-ons but bowties came more naturally to me.

3 people referred me to you blog today, because I am known to wear bowties (I am wearing one right now). I started wearing bowties because I spilled a lot and got tired of dry cleaning long ties. Then people associated me with the bowtie. A photograph of my grandfather revealed he too wore bowties
I once was told ‘the majority of men who wear bowties do so because the majority of men do not”.

I wear’em as they feel right.

As I had to explain to my former colleagues on the Hill: “You don’t have to be gay and Republican to wear a bow tie. It’s gay OR Republican.”

Sorry, I seem to have been misunderstood. I did not consider it rude in the least - it was no more than a small joke.
