Bow Ties Are Cool $17.99 There's a long history regarding bow ties, neckties, and doctors. Did you know that pediatricians wear bow ties to avoid being strangled by grabby babies? In fact, neckties are such a danger to doctors and patients that British hospitals banned the wearing of neckties in 2007. "Colonized by pathogens" was the exact phrase. Yuck. Our Doctor, on the other hand, acquired his signature bow tie in an English hospital, where perhaps it once graced the neck of a cardiologist. (It's a pity they never met; that would have been a fun EKG.) We're not sure if The Doctor chose it for its fashionable qualities or its utilitarian nature, but he's succeeded on both counts. "Bow Ties Are Cool" printed on a navy blue, 100% cotton t-shirt in the classic "Keep Calm" font, topped with a bow tie you don't ever have to tie.

Bow Tie $92.4 The bow tie is a mens necktie popularly worn with formal attire, such as suits or dinner jackets. It consists of a ribbon of fabric tied around the collar in a symmetrical manner such that the two opposite ends form loops. Readytied bow ties are available, in which the distinctive bow is sewn into shape and the band around the neck incorporates a clip. Some clipons dispense with the band altogether, instead clipping to the collar. The traditional bow tie, consisting of a strip of cloth which the wearer has to tie by hand, may be known as a selftie, tietotie, or freestyle bow tie to distinguish it from these. Bow ties may be made of any fabric material, but most are made from silk, polyester, cotton, or a mixture of fabrics. Some fabrics (e.g., wool) are much less common for bow ties than for ordinary fourinhand neckties.
