Hi Dan, like I said it's just a personal feeling. There is a lot of fuss going on about bowties at the moment and I sense this will fade away soon.That's what history tells us.  

Yes, I believe bow ties are back. I see it as a part of the return of the classics, as very often happens around smaller or deeper slowdown in economics, I guess. My son - next generation is always wiser than us, you know - just told me during the holidays, that all "old-fashion" / classical stuff are back also in fashion. What Miami Vice did for 80's, Mad Men does for this decade, he said. Even that Mad Men is mostly about ties and 60's style suites, it's still a big door-opener for more classic fashion again. I think there has been some rebirth of cufflinks during the last few years, too?

As Nico pointed out, bow ties might be gone again in couple of years. As has happened few times before. When was it last time everyone was using a bow tie? Early 90's in my case, I think. Is the Bow Tie Cycle around 15-20 yrs?

Hi, I totally agree bowties are back, however I'm really sad I can't buy one here (I mean suitable to wear every day and of course self tie one).
