Description - The Bow Tie Book by James Gulliver Hancock
From its humble beginnings around the necks of seventeenth-century Croatian mercenaries, the bowtie has evolved to become one of the signature accessories in the modern gentleman's wardrobe. Once relegated to the uniforms of nerds, waiters, and wedding parties, bowties now adorn the collars of men of all ages, nationalities, and occupations. They silently and stylishly tell the world what kind of man you are: A man of style, substance, and individuality. A man who likes to stand out in a crowd, but is polite. A man who respects himself and those around him enough to put his best foot forward. A man of whimsy, intelligence, and imagination. Today, anyone who's anyone, and everyone else, appreciates a bowtie.
The Bowtie Book includes a brief essay on the history of the bowtie, and is filled with more than 100 full color and black-and-white photographs of bowtie-wearing men, as well as over 50 quotes and essays from bowtie wearers, designers, and their admirers. It also includes over 20 full-color illustrations created specially for this book by noted bowtie wearer and artist James Gulliver Hancock, as well as a fully-illustrated and removable "How to Tie a Bowtie" cheat sheet for readers to take with them.
The perfect gift for any man, The Bowtie Book is a useful and stylish way of proudly extending the bowtie lifestyle to the bookshelf.
