I also love that you include links to what you're wearing/what's on the table in your descriptions

[@AngelitoMontrealais]

Timeless and greatly informative demo especially for the coming holiday season when one wants a bit of sartorial elegance for the big family gathering.

[@brt5273]

I love that modified butterfly❤‍🔥

[@Chi9ja]

I just love the knowledge I get from your videos, keep it up

[@hespokestyle]

You're very welcome. Thank you for the comment!

[@waltski4375]

Very informative video, thank you! I just learned I have a diamond tie. - Cheers!

[@hespokestyle]

Waltski awesome! Been one of my favorites recently. Appreciate the comment.

[@dvp2212]

very good video, keep up the good work. my favorite: Diamond shaped Semi butterfly

[@hespokestyle]

Thanks, Daniel. Appreciate the comment.

[@FitManStyle]

Definitely a semi butterfly guy. Good point about the matching fabric of the tie and lapel. Great video.

[@hespokestyle]

Thanks so much. A detail that can't be overlooked.

[@MrMarcoberti98]

Definetely diamond shape. Great video please keep it up!

[@hespokestyle]

You got it, Marco! Appreciate the comment. Cheers.

Love bow ties, as a physician it comes natural! There is also a single end bow tie, for a formal less bulky look. I cringe everytime I see an adult wear a pre-tied one. We need more men wearing bowties, patterned ones can elevate a casual outfit to an altogether new level. Thanks for the video.

[@hespokestyle]

Thanks for the comment, Ankur. I feel like there are bow tie guys and guys that just don't feel comfortable. I'm somewhere in between. Not a full-on bow tie guy, but maybe every once in a while.

[@adambailey8592]

Nice detailed video never really knew there were that many different types of bow tie,not that i wear them but thank you and in the unlikely event i get married or invited to a swanky black tie event i will bear this video in mind.Looking forward to your Q and A Sunday have a nice weekend sir.

[@hespokestyle]

Thanks, Adam! Not this Sunday! Next Sunday the 27th. Not just a Q&A either. A big show!

[@frankkatsaros8600]

I love patterned butterflies, with a sweater and flap cap. Awesome upscale casual :)

[@hespokestyle]

Sounds like it, for sure. Thanks for the comment.

[@sludgehammerz]

didn't even know the modified butterfly shape existed! by far my favorite

[@jleo9815]

Loved the tips Next video Tuxedo guide ❤

[@hespokestyle]

At some point that is going to happen.

[@scdobserver835]

I am sort of a minimalist. Straight tie for me. Less fuss. Looks clean.

[@hespokestyle]

Nice choice! Appreciate the comment.

[@scdobserver835]

@@hespokestyle you, sir, on the other hand, seem to be able to rock all kinds of bow ties with style. Takes someone special to be able to do that. Another man-style youtuber that seem to be able to rock almost all kinds of style is Marcel Floruss. But he's more towards the hybrid of street + dapper and he's more 'fashion forward'...

[@potatosir6556]

masterpiece of a video

[@hespokestyle]

You're very kind. Thanks for the comment.

[@Nathan-hs2ut]

Incredible video!

[@hespokestyle]

Many thanks, Nathan. You're very kind.

[@endlesswaltz9051]

What a great subject. I’m completely unintelligent with bow ties. Just, great work! Can you talk about men jewelry? Ring, bangles, necklaces, and bracelets. Feel free to throw some watches in their too. I appreciate you reading the comments. 🤙🏼

[@hespokestyle]

Definitely a lot of watch stuff coming up, including a watch collection video. Probably not going to cover man jewelry except maybe signet rings. Try to get back to everyone that comments with class. 😉

[@endlesswaltz9051]

He Spoke Style I appreciate you responding to my comment. 🤙🏼

[@hespokestyle]

Endless Waltz no problem.

[@saurishroy781]

Very little quality info available on the internet about tux and bow ties. Your work is highly appreciated! Love from India. 🙏

[@jimmyedmondsjr9376]

Good vlog. I prefer the semi butterfly. Can you do another video about informal bow ties? They are my favorite accessory.

[@hespokestyle]

Thanks for the comment, Jimmy. I might do a video like that in the future, but not really my style.

[@jimmyedmondsjr9376]

@@hespokestyle Surprised I would of at least though you would have some part of your style.

[@tjs5770]

I agree, there is just something effortlessly cool about untying your bow tie at the end of the night and walking around with it untied.

[@ChuBQBurgers]

Could you go more into detail why the bow tie fabric has to be the same as the suit fabric? For symmetry? Thanks!

[@hespokestyle]

Not really much to it other than cohesion--it just looks good when they match.

[@benrobinson7937]

What’s your opinion on a traditional tux for a wedding with a white bow tie? Thanks!

[@hespokestyle]

What is your favorite bow tie shape?

[@Tyronieus]

I like the straight end 👍 Semi butterfly would be my 2nd choice.

[@MarlonGarciaMFG]

1. Semi-Butterfly 2. Diamond Point

[@endlesswaltz9051]

I would have to say, the diamond shape. It’s classy but, a lil edgy. Like a gentleman.

[@ehsanullahabbasi5734]

Semi butterfly Diamond shaped

[@hespokestyle]

Excellent! Thanks for chiming in!

[@mrgoodbar672001]

Well said, perfectly imperfect

[@dwntwn214]

Diamond Point all the way!

[@hespokestyle]

dwntwn214 I’m a fan of the diamond as well thanks for the comment.

[@rm4566]

Can I wear a grosgrain bow tie with a velvet suit?

[@emilio15216]

could the bow tie be used with a crew neck sweater or only with a suit ?

[@JuanSanchezGuerra]

Are these all from Le Noeud Papillon?

[@snow4days]

My wedding is a very formal event and I’m torn on bow tie style. Big might be too much, but modified butterfly doesn’t have that statement the big does. Is big considered more for events rather than weddings? I were a tux to charitable events and have a much smaller tie

[@windsurfredbull1111]

Thank you great video. Well I’m just starting to get into some bowties I had three different velvet double breasted blazer’s made black/ silver gray/ and a garnet red. I’m a little north of Boston and the dress code has seriously dropped off. These are technically smoking jackets that I will wear with a bow tie. Clearly less formal than a real black tie outfit but will still stand out here as classy.. I will really only wear these when I go to a high-end steakhouse in the evening. May be breaking some hardliner dress code rules but I don’t go to real tuxedo events. This is more of a fun thing as the whole thing has been a bit of a hobby of mine. I often just wear a double breasted suit for dinner but I thought the bow tie would be fun to try out with once in a while. Gives the blazers a touch of elegance I think..

[@atrecc]

Thanks 🙏🏼

[@qarhsi]

#first! Nice video. Bowties aren't really my thing but it's still interesting to know about them. Do similar rules apply to more casual bowties? Cheers!

[@hespokestyle]

Thanks for the comment! Yes, same rules apply to casual bows as well.

[@lynphillips2109]

I'm afraid that it was Daniel Craig who wore the first Diamond Point in a James Bond movie. Sean Connery actually wore a straight (a.k.a. Batwing) bow tie in Dr. No. The photo of Sean Connery you showed has a shadow that makes the end look pointed. But if you watch Dr. No, he's definitely wearing a Batwing (a.k.a. straight). Otherwise, this is a very good video.

[@One_Dejan]

Helpful!

[@hespokestyle]

Glad to hear it! Thanks for the comment.

[@crabcake3656]

whatever you say Steve Jobs Jeff Goldblum looking bow tie wizard

[@JamesHahnII]

Can anyone tell me why the men on Downton Abbey and other period pieces from the late 1800s always have the right side of their bow tie undone... err diamond?

[@KlausKokholmPetersen]

Who says you can only wear a bowtie with very formal dress codes?

[@chefkdowg]

I'm a self tie bow tie. Lol

[@hespokestyle]

Any flavor you like best?

[@Chi9ja]

big and modified butterfly, but I'm a woman so maybe that's why LOL

[@hespokestyle]

Good choices!
