No particular occasion. This is a part of my dress up clothing now, re: the movie 'Tombstone'. Adding to it still. I will also be buried wearing it. I like the Victorian and Western clothing you offer. Contemporary styles just don't do it for me anymore. I am old-school, non-progressive, pro-gun and anti-tech.

Looking forward to wearing this bow tie, after seeing in western movies.

Honestly, I am disappointed with the tie and did not wear it to the event I wanted to go to. The 'hook' that is mounted just behind the tie is not really behind the tie, and to wear it with a stand-up collar is impossible because the clasp shows! I have it packaged ready to return. Also, somewhere along the line a mistake was made, I really wanted the 001220 Deluxe Western Bow and I got the 001223 Deluxe Floppy Bow. I cannot declare who was at fault, but I was going to wear it anyway.

Well constructed, quality materials. Looks as good 'in person' as in the photo.

The tie was well made and adjustable and looks great with both my outfit and my husband's. Wonderful!

Beautiful bow tie, I totally love it.

Needed this to complete a costume for a play - arrived pre-tied (thank you!) and easily adjustable. Seriously considering switching entire wardrobe to 1880's look. Thank you!

The tie is just dandy. As shown, as expected! Not cheap quality.

I had as many comments on the tie as I did the coat. People loved it. I look like I just arrived by train from Fall River. Lizzie would have loved it.

I wanted to try something else after all those standard bow ties. This is a great alternative. Easy to put on, easy to adjust, looks perfect and you can wear it to both a less formal Gentleman's attire or alongside a dashy Western outfit. Have had a lot of positive feedback from various people.

The details matter and this is just the right touch to go with the Victorian blouse. Well made.

Very nice size and received many compliments and inquiries. Though more western in style I recently wore it to a Dicken's event. Well made. Historical Emporium has been my one stop for Victorian or Western wear for a few years. Satisfied customer.

Something different for parties, opera and symphony! It is a great-looking tie.
