These two Cambridge physicists applied a model more often used to describe atomic motion to the twists and turns of this central item of men's dress. They discovered eighty-five ways to tie a tie, thirteen of which survived their aesthetic test, and earned their recommendation. The result is a rich blend of history, science, fashion, and practicality that will become the must have accessory for all well-dressed men. Suit Yourself offers a concise, no-nonsense discussion of men's dress for the business environment. The book, which features beautiful color photography and helpful reference charts, is designed to clearly explain and illustrate the underlying principles of men's business dress.
Some bowties have adjustable lengths.
Some ties will have neck sizes marked on the loop. If so, place the hook one number up from the number corresponding to your neck-size. This will give you a little larger loop, but will simplify the beginners efforts at tying the darn thing. Button your collar at the neck, then fold it up so that you can slip the tie easily around your neck. This helps you tie it in the right spot the first time, and also helps prevent wrinkling and stretching the tie fabric.
