Worn by everyone from Schrödinger to Le Corbusier to Andre 3000, a bow tie is one of those “classic menswear” pieces that appeals to the guy who does his own thing. It's equal parts preppy and practical — compared to a necktie, it really does stay out of the way — and while it's not for everybody, it does make a statement. Ours are cut on the bias and 2.25" high for an easy-to-wear (and tie) silhouette. This one's made of cheery striped cotton and handmade in the USA.
