      @@brunotorrini9228 Right, the only downside to ascots is the burden of finding ones of quality. I am saving money for a Fort Belvedere ascot (I'm fond of the ascot in buff), but there are not too many options to be found.

The funny thing about wearing a cross over tie when you are attempting to wear it in a upscaled way, is that the United State Postal Service wears them as well as wait staff.

    Good history, Preston! As a rule, I choose my neckwear depending upon the local customs of wherever I travel for business. For instance, I always wear more conservative, low key neckties when visiting clients in the East, but break out my Bolo ties when doing business west of the Mississippi River and in the Southwest. My bow ties come out for more formal events, and I have Incredible Hulk, Batman, Darth Vader, and Wile E. Coyote novelty ties for fun things like parties and galas. And I wear no tie at all whenever I'm in Los Angeles.

    I think the crossover-style continental tie would work well at a creative black tie event, or (should one be so lucky and/or cursed) at a hollywood red carpet event. It gives the sense of a tieless look, without being underdressed (or god forbid, showing the collar button if you're not wearing a detachable collar).

    As someone native to AZ, it's nice to hear about us since basically "warm weather" is 75% of what we have. It was 109F today. I've been thinking about adding a bolo tie since there are native american jewelry makers present in the state and it's nice to support them as well as any good small business or entrepreneur. Maybe a guide on different Southwestern inspired looks would be possible. Great video as usual tho.

    I will say here in Texas you can find bolo ties pretty commonly. You can easily find them in a church, and in many business situations, especially one-on-one situations. You'll find a lot of bankers who use them.
    As stated in the video, you usually find them paired with cowboy boots, hat and often jeans. If the wearer is particularly fashion conscious, he'll be wearing a western cut shirt or flannel as well.

    Can you do en entire video on bandana's as men's wear? I have worn a bandana formally more than once. This has got to be one of the oldest and most versatile "tie" styles in human history. It is part of the formal folk outfit for area as diverse as Belgium, Mexico, and Colombia. It is also saving lives right now. A bandana with a nice design looks great as a protective face mask when wearing a suit if you don't mind a little bit of a bandit look.

  • @Eve_Parat
    @Eve_Parat 4 года назад +2

    I've done some experiments as Preston said. An ascot is I love the most, so I often try to wear it as many situations as possible. I wear the ascot sometimes when I'm going out to work or meeting my clients, and after worked, I wear it to the mall. However, the ascot is unpopular in Thailand, only a few men wearing it (0.001% I think). The reason why it's unpopular is, I think, Thailand is extremely HOT. So when I wear, I often get some strange looks especially I am a woman who wears it. Then I also wear a crossover tie, and of cause, it looks good for a woman, also it is not too much style or too fancy. I've ever thought wearing bolo ties next (I personally called it as a cowboy tie hahaha), but I still can't find the right situation wearing it except when I went to a horse riding. XD

    • @jonnykelly556
      @jonnykelly556 3 года назад

      The number one thing to remember about bolo ties is the shape and color of the slide. The vast majority I've seen are in silver, but other metals like brass or gold do exist, as well as bi-metal slides.
      A fair number of bolo ties do come with turquoise stones set in them, so a good way to wear it stylishly would be to pair it with more conservative colors, like grays, dark blues and black.
      Shape of the slide should also be considered. Ovals and rectangles, in my personal experience with them, tend to work remarkably well with a more formal ensemble, whereas other shapes like old coins, animals, arrowheads, etc, although fun and whimsical, are best reserved for more casual outfits.
      Feel free to experiment, and have fun with it.

    I'm not sure if you have all your names right. You talked about the string tie or bootlace tie. You talked about the very similar plantation tie. When I see those I usually call them a western bow tie. But then you never talked about the western tie. Which appears much the same but hangs down naturally. And what I call a string tie is like a western tie but very thin. I guess they all have a million names but it just bothers me that no one ever seems to want to talk about the plain western tie. Which personally I find much more dapper than those stiff self standing costume party things but what do I know?

    I thank the Gent's for recommending wearing an old tie as a belt a while back -- it felt good and inspired me to think outside the box, earned a few compliments as well. What I would suggest back is not to underestimate a newer type of clothing, the scarf-tube. Originally designed from light fabric for its utility in casual sports or outdoors use, in the wake of Covid, this garment has been a vital part of my daily wardrobe, doubling as a mask when entering indoor public spaces. As for its sartorial merits, I can say there are plentiful designs and I've used my best quality one (by Spanish manufacturer 'Buff') in the few dinner parties I've attended in the past months. Also, in the winter I have a thick woven wool tube-scarf in dark grey; it keeps firm and shields my nose from wind, where most scarves would not, and it looks very elegant with my overcoat that's a lighter shade of grey.

    It’s not “begs” the question. It’s “prompts,” or “suggests,” or “raises,” or “asks,” but not “begs.”

    When my Dad was a little boy, his neighbour was an older academic who worked at a local university. Whenever this man came home he'd take off his necktie and replace it with a cravat (ascot).

    I'd like to ask just a small detail about bolo ties: aren't they used by "Cherokee People?" Well, if yes, for how long? You know, when I heard about an inventor, I automatically thought about Cherokees. To be honest, I also think about native Canadian people. If they use, I don't know, but my mind travels in their direction too. Greetings.
