Talk:Bowtie

I could take some photos that Wikipedia:Requested pictures seems to ask for this. The bow shown on bare skin seems somewhat obscene as this is often portrayed as a part of the "uniform" of male strippers.
I have no tuxedo shirts at hand, but I could use folded collar and maybe some picture of an untied one. Perhaps even provide an original tying diagram. --blades 01:30, May 11, 2004 (UTC)
- Obcene? I am no stripper ;-). Hey, what do I care? I often do wikiwork without shirt, and I did this in less than 5 mins. :-). But what can I say if you take a better picture? Go ahead. ✏ Sverdrup 15:57, 11 May 2004 (UTC)
- There I was with this imagined image of you completely naked except for the tie. You've shattered my daydream. theresa knott 16:06, 11 May 2004 (UTC)
Either way, it should probably be replaced. The article talks about how it's usually worn with formal attire, and then the illustration has a bowtie on a bare neck, which doesn't match the article's description. --Delirium 04:23, Mar 6, 2005 (UTC)
merging
I think this should be merged into necktee. Also I think "Towards the end of the 19th century the free ends of the bowtie grew longer, and the necktie was born, and the bowtie slowly went out of fashion." is incorrect. The bowtie wasn't the precursor to the modern tie as this sentence suggests. Both (along with the Ascot) were around from about the 1860s and were all decended directly from the cravat.

- Disagree about merging. I think the topics are separate enough to be different articles. BTW, does anybody know more about the different ways how to tie a bowtie? I checked the web and found two different methods, which i created graphs for. -- Chris 73 | Talk 10:16, 15 May 2004 (UTC)
There is not enough information on this page to warrant an entire article yet, it is mostly illustrations and most of the other information is a summary of what is on necktie. Necktie covers cravats (and cravat is a redirect to necktie) and the history of ties in general. Mintguy (T)
'Bowtie' or 'bow tie'?
Which is more correct? My vote is for "bow tie". To my eye, the word "bowtie" would be pronounced 'boaty'. Just looks wrong to me. Urbane legend 02:11, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
