“To its devotees the bow tie suggests iconoclasm of an Old World sort, a fusty adherence to a contrarian point of view. The bow tie hints at intellectualism, real or feigned, and sometimes suggests technical acumen, perhaps because it is so hard to tie. Bow ties are worn by magicians, country doctors, lawyers and professors and by people hoping to look like the above. But perhaps most of all, wearing a bow tie is a way of broadcasting an aggressive lack of concern for what other people think.”
—Warren St John, The New York Times

Historically speaking, there’s a legacy that’s rather dashing. Martial, perhaps — an abbreviated story: The bow tie originated among Croatian mercenaries during the Prussian wars of the 17th century: the Croats used a scarf around the neck to hold together the opening of their shirts. This was soon adopted (under the name cravat, derived from the French for “Croat“) by the upper classes in France, then a leader infashion, and flourished in the 18th and 19th centuries. The French novelist Honoré de Balzac even wrote a book on the subject. It is uncertain whether the cravat then evolved into the bow tie and necktie, or whether the cravat gave rise to the bow tie, which in turn led to the necktie. Menswear has never been the same!

Who wears them then?
A Who’s Who of “rugged individualists:”
• Theodore Roosevelt
• Charlie Chaplin
• Winston Churchill
• Fred Astaire
• Senators Daniel Patrick Moynihan of New York | Paul Simon of Illinois
• Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam
• George Will
• Charles Osgood of CBS News
• Andre 3000 of the band OutKast
The “ironic wearers:”
• Mark Russell
• Pee-wee Herman

So, in closing, it takes an independent man, someone who doesn’t much care what people think, to wear a bow tie these days. Wear it in an unexpected version, say camouflage or a knit. The more unexpected the better…tattoos and bowties… why not? Mens clothing could
never be complete without the bow tie even though we have a love/hate relationship with it.

With some of the finest leather and craftsmen in the world, the Italian footwear industry produces shoes coveted among fashion aficionados and are said to be amongst the finest in the world. This is a very well known fact, but how did the country become the home of quality foot-ware?

It is a combination of several factors really, not only are the designers among the finest in the world, but the quality of the material is also among the highest. Italy is famed for its leather production and as such, the likes of boots and brogues are of the best possible quality and style. Menswear wouldn’t be what it is without Italian craftsmanship.

Italian shoemakers also adhere to traditional methods when it comes to making their wares. Jobs such as tanning are still done as they were done centuries ago, and materials are still hand sewn to ensure the best quality. In many ways this has undermined the Italian shoe industry due to cheaper, mass produced products being favored by the general consumer, but it has also made Italian shoes more desirable and sought-after.

Italian shoe makers have also been able to use the internet to combat the threat of cheaper shoes, selling their products all around the world and catering for a market that might not be able to regularly visit the likes of Rome, Milan and Florence. If you are a connoisseur of shoes, having ‘made in Italy’ embossed on them, shows the amount of care and effort that has gone into making them.

Producers in Italy use a variety of labor sources, with much of the process of leather production being done by hand. Hides are carefully inspected before treatment, with only the best hides being accepted, and quality checks are carried out at every stage of the way. Many producers specialize in full grain leather — leather from the top of the hide, which is famous for its suppleness and quality. Italian producers tend to use high quality dyes and chemicals in their products, producing consistent, durable, long-lasting leather products.

Italian leather does not just dominate the mens fashion community. It also a standard in luxury cars, many of which are made in Italy or by Italian companies, and for home furnishings. Thanks to the associations with chic culture, some people are willing to pay a premium for products made with Italian leather, perpetuating the market and promoting the maintenance of high standards at facilities which process it.

Fashion Tips from FSBmens.com, Mens wear at it’s finest!
HOW TO FOLD A HANDKERCHIEF
We should always be more concerned on the methods to fold pocket squares or pocket handkerchiefs before considering how to display them on your suit’s breast pocket. Without the proper knowledge of folding it nicely, displaying the hanky at its best on your suit would definitely not be possible.

The method to fold pocket squares and pocket handkerchiefs is slightly different. Let us focus more on the fabrics used. With linen or cotton, the fabric are able to hold up better and so there are more varying styles of folding it.

For those silk fabrics, the weave would be too soft for the square to be folded with crisp. So it would make more sense in learning how to tuck it into your breast pockets with style by using the “Puff”.

The art to fold pocket squares or pocket handkerchiefs should be to avoid looking too contrived or studied. It should give an effortless and casual feel in its folds. We would not want the pocket hankies to draw too much attention.

Remember that we wear the clothes and not the clothes wearing us especially for such accessories. It should be displayed and folded such that it is stylish and yet relaxed in feel.

So commonly we would angle our pocket handkerchiefs to an angle toward our shoulder and also arranged in an irregular manner to show a slight nonchalance.

The following pictures illustrate the most common folds.

TV Folds
This is a very conservative style where the handkerchief is folded such that one stripe of horizontal side of it is revealed about ½ inches above the breast pocket. This is a very popular style in the 1940s to 1950s because many TV celebrities wore their pocket handkerchiefs this manner.

One Point Fold:
The concept of one point fold is derived from TV fold. From the way it is folded to the way it is placed, we can sense the similar conservative and traditional perspective as TV folds. The only difference is the pointed corner being revealed that breaks the symmetry found in TV folds.

Two Point Fold:
For the first step, fold the square down to a four and one-half inch square. Rotate the square so a point is up. Do not, however, overlap the point you are folding onto the top point. Instead, fold the bottom right point up to the left of the top point (they should look like two mountain peaks).

Three Point or Four Point Fold:
A very popular way to fold pocket squares. The more points it has the more conspicuous it becomes. Therefore, we should be more wary in the way we place into our breast pocket. Always attempt to tuck in deeper into the pocket and adjust it with a feel of nonchalance.

Puff:
This is the best method to folding pocket squares made of silk fabric. It gives a swell above the breast pocket with a small puff.

Reverse Puff:
This has the same concept as puff but placing it the opposite way. Using this method always gives a very casual appearance and yet a nice flowery finishing exposed above the breast pocket.

SEEING DOUBLE: The Return of the Double Breasted Suit

In the 1980s, no man stepped out of the door to the office unless it was in a double-breasted suit. It was the status symbol of the decade. By the 90s the popularity of the double-breasted suit had rapidly declined along with the property market and wearing one became seen as a symbol of excess.

We are now seeing it return to the forefront of mens fashion. It is more softly tailored and more relaxed, the shoulder is narrower and the coat length shorter, somehow it looks new and fresh and distinctly smarter and there is a whole generation of men who have never worn this style and find it to be an exciting alternative to what they have been wearing.
