It's hard to go wrong with a classic plaid bow tie. The Kirkland butterfly bow tie will complement everything from your cardigan to the dinner jacket. This olive and black plaid will speak volumes about your personality before you even have to.
This may be my favorite bowtie of all time. NOTE: these ties are exquisitely THIN (not the width/height dimension, but the thickness of the fabric. This has a delicate elegance, and ties a better knot than a tie with "thick" fabric. Also, imho cotton is superior to silk - something about cotton gives a softer finish. These ties are beautiful fabric and colors.

Bow Ties Comeback
Ridiculous to figure out how to tie it for the first time. I understand the appeal of clip on ties after my one hour attempt. Conveniently, Ties.com sent a tutorial brochure to assist. With a combination of looking at the brochure and a tutorial on Youtube, I was able to tie it! It looks soooo dapper. I'll definitely be getting more ties soon.
