Aminor wrote to ask whether it was a Sartorial Power Move to tuck your bow tie into your shirt collar, as Jobim does in this lovely duet with Sinatra.  It certainly is, but it’s also somehow modest, and I think a very well-dressed man could pull it off.  Or someone really awesome.  You know, like Jobim.

I strongly recommend you avoid visiting the website of Drake’s of London.  If your resolve is weak, you may be drawn into a world of sartorial fantasy which your lifestyle and income cannot support.  Not that this has ever happened to me, of course.

The Cordial Churchman makes custom bow ties - for $23 each.  What started as a sewing project for a husband who wanted a seersucker bowtie is now a business, and Ellie Laveer Stager now makes bows in all styles from any fabric you like (or some of the fabrics she has on hand).  Above is the Woolyman.
