Brown Fed IV, Dark brown slacks, brown and grey tweed vest, dark brown microsuede sports coat, white shirt, pocket watch and Magnoli's Pankot tie!
I hadn't tied it in a long time but luckily remembered how, I worked on it last night and was not happy with the results but this morning it just clicked.
It's not as perfect as some of the tie's I'm seeing on here but I don't think it's too bad, lol. I'd take a pic but my phone is lost....
I'm having a hard time getting it as tight as I want it, but I guess that just takes more practice.
But this is the most I've ever felt like "Professor" so far....
Sounds great! Even though I wear bow ties quite regularly, Magnoli's Pankot tie is the only straight-edge bow tie I own and still the trickiest. At the same time, it's among my favorites (second only to my Dead Sea Scrolls bow ties, but that's for vocational reasons). Yep, the more practice with it, the better it'll look each time. Sounds like a good outfit combination--hope to see pics next time!
