Totally a rental!

WOW! I'd say great catch, but it breaks my heart.
This is one instance when I don't wanna be screen accurate.

Is it funnier that its a clip-on, or that its taken this long for someone to catch it?

It actually makes that entire encounter oddly hilarious. Indy had brought a blazer and a bowtie to the event, but when he found out he had to meet Lao at the COW, he had to rent a tux... He's never going to get his deposit back though.
I don't feel so bad about having to rent a tux for prom now.... Although that was many years ago.

:H:
I figured this out years ago! In fact, it helped me feel better about using a clip-on for the one time I dressed in a ToD tux. I didn't want to spend money on a plain black "real" bow tie that I would only wear once, rather than using the clip-on that came with the shirt.

Also, reality check! Even if Indy owned a tux, it wouldn't be that strange for somebody to wear a clip-on in 1935. Plus, they are quick, easy and convenient. When you've got Chinese mobsters gunning for you, trying to steal what you want to rightful sell to them, futzing with a bow tie is NOT high on one's priority list!

Don't worry, Lucas will "fix" it for the Indy Blu-Rays that will be coming in the near future. :Dietrich:

Yeah, might be right, BUT (of course, there's a "but" ;) ), you totally ignore the part, where the deal went well and you leave the club with the girl later that night, getting rid of the jacket and having just one more drink ... with the open bow tie around you neck. HA! [-( ;)

Being Indy maybe he was strangled while wearing a real bowtie in a previous encounter and therefore wants a "quick and easy" exit using a clip-on this time around.

Yeah, but his Pankot bow tie is a self-tying.

Maybe he found himself hanging off the side gun of a German Panzer... :D

I have formal bow ties from that era which are the same type of clip on. They're not uncommon at all back then. Besides, for formal evening wear, you want a tie that looks absolutely sharp and crisp, not so much "freestyle" as a tie you would wear during the day.

Yesterday I watched an old movie from 1933 called 'Death by Television' starting Bela Lugosi.

Pretty bad film, but oh well...... :roll: ;)

Anyway, through the entire movie all the men wore full formal dinner tuxes, and in one scene they were all searched by the police when a certain paper turned up missing after a professor had been murdered.

Long story short, each and every man had one of these 'clip on' bow ties, exactly like the one pictured on Ford.

So, at least it was period correct in 1933.

I always figured that the bowtie that Indy wears to dinner at Pankot Palace was the tie from his Shanghai tux. :-k Guess not.

Nope, black tie at the beginning.

This one at the palace.

This is, incidentally, the Professor's Bowtie offered by Magnoli Clothiers.
