Neckwear is a prime focus for us here at the Gentleman's Gazette. We’ve devoted a number of videos to tutorials on how to tie bow ties and various different necktie knots, and we sell a wide array of different styles in the Fort Belvedere Shop.
We’ve also covered some even more traditional styles, like the ascot and cravat which we mentioned in today’s video. But of course, there are a great many other styles of neckwear out there beyond standard neckties and bow ties -- which begs the question: is there a situation where any of these other styles can, or should, be worn?
The world of men’s neckwear is far more vast than the two main pillars of neckties and bow ties. Even so, these “alternative styles” have remained so for a reason: they’re not nearly as versatile as their more conventional counterparts.
For 99% of sartorial situations, a well-chosen necktie or bow tie or perhaps an ascot or cravat will be your best bet in terms of neckwear. Feel free to experiment if you so choose, but be aware that a more standard style will be best for tying your looks together. - Jak na to + styl
Ah the good old bolo ties. I remember watching western movies as a kid and always thinking about what those are called. I wonder can we exppect Fort Belvedere bolo ties?
Hello from Croatia, the land of the necktie!
Maybe
Don’t think so
I love bolo ties but in the cold Wyoming Winters nothing beats a cowboy scarf with a silver neckerchief slide.
As a kid, I can confirm they are cook
Thankfully Croatia „invented“ this wonderful accessory
Ascots are definitely my favorite alternatives to the tie. They're quite comfortable and stylish, and they bring in plenty of compliments.
Agree! Plus, it's the only "tie" you can wear on a shirt without a jacket.
@@brunotorrini9228 Right, the only downside to ascots is the burden of finding ones of quality. I am saving money for a Fort Belvedere ascot (I'm fond of the ascot in buff), but there are not too many options to be found.
Started wearing mine today. First time I barely sweated due to it's breathing capability while keeping the neck warm. My only concern now is how to clean it.
I'm a big fan of the look. Haven't tried it myself, eager to do so.
I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen Preston wear an ascot. I like it, it looks good.
It's amazing how over the years I've seen movies, photos, of famous men wearing alternative ties and never noticed!
Good history, Preston! As a rule, I choose my neckwear depending upon the local customs of wherever I travel for business. For instance, I always wear more conservative, low key neckties when visiting clients in the East, but break out my Bolo ties when doing business west of the Mississippi River and in the Southwest. My bow ties come out for more formal events, and I have Incredible Hulk, Batman, Darth Vader, and Wile E. Coyote novelty ties for fun things like parties and galas. And I wear no tie at all whenever I'm in Los Angeles.
I think the crossover tie works. It's like it points at your head. If it's in line with the collar, it looks good.
The Continental tie may be hard to pull off, but I'll take that over wearing a regular long black necktie with a tux any day.
We agree! Thanks for watching.

@@gentlemansgazette You might not wear a Sporo (Yiannis Stamatiou "Sporos”) style continental tie in a strict formal event but it is very well place if you are in a night club with or without dinner jacket or tuxedo or a flashy evening even. The funny thing about wearing a cross over tie when you are attempting to wear it in a upscaled way, is that the United State Postal Service wears them as well as wait staff.
“Ah Ive been shot in the leg!”
*takes off cravat and ties it around leg*
Why am I here, I'm a woman but... I can't stop watching this channel
Well, same. I love to wear suit vests and ties, makes me feel kinda like a Gentleman 😹
I had no idea the Bolo tie was such a recent invention! I thought it would have come from the 1800's Frontier
Me either! They are not too difficult to find in Arizona though lol
A friend of mine regularly wears a bowtie made of clear acrylic glass, lit up by LEDs. It's one of the nerdiest tech things you can wear i believe😂
That is so tacky just thinking about it
I want one, I have trouble getting onto youtube but I want one
As someone who works in the tech industry, I should really get my hands on one. Is it tacky, gaudy and over the top? Yes, yes it is. I should wear it with a head mounted display at meet and greets...
Amazing! I love it when someone goes where most of us fear to tred
I think the only thing more nerdy would be a nixie watch like Steve Wozniak
As other commentators already pointed out: Preston certainly can pull off an ascot! Somehow broadens his physique ever so slightly.
I’ve seen the v-shaped continental tie worn by Buck Owens, Elvis, Charley Pride, Hank Williams Jr, and many other country singers but could never find what it was called. Thanks for the info!
I am a big fan of day ascots. After buying one in a vintage store, I came to learn how to make my own. I can be seen regularly wearing an ascot. This includes doing everyday things in the South Bronx.
Bolo ties also work in Alberta, especially at the rodeo or stampede events.
I wore many a bolo when I lived in Calgary.
@@pcarmical I have one for those times when a bow tie just isn't Yahoo enough.
I am german, the boyfriend of Britta, and i wear bolo tie when dancing Modern American Square Dance at a Special or Demo.
I think the crossover-style continental tie would work well at a creative black tie event, or (should one be so lucky and/or cursed) at a hollywood red carpet event. It gives the sense of a tieless look, without being underdressed (or god forbid, showing the collar button if you're not wearing a detachable collar).
Personally a giant fan of ascots. I remember wearing my ascot almost daily when I was 14-15
The day cravat worn in shirt looks incredible. Works in classic and modern styles.
The Ascot Scarves are my favourite as they are so colourful yet comfortable in my Neck....i really feel they are very underrated.
I quite enjoy these histories, even if they're not really appropriate for wearing today. It's fascinating knowing about the different styles of the past.
You look nice in a ascot, Preston!
Preston, absolutely love your work
Thank you! I really ascots would become more common. Great work guys
I don’t why but that crossover continental tie just stuck out to me and I feel like it could totally be pulled off today with formal black tie attire. Great video, and thanks for the history lesson!
It would be difficult because of the winged collar.
Finally! Ive waited for this a long time!
Edit: on Balkan we say *Kravata* for any type of tie :D
Yes lads, long live the cravats! Preston is an absolute weapon.
Excellent work, as usual. Thank you, Preston.
As someone native to AZ, it's nice to hear about us since basically "warm weather" is 75% of what we have. It was 109F today. I've been thinking about adding a bolo tie since there are native american jewelry makers present in the state and it's nice to support them as well as any good small business or entrepreneur. Maybe a guide on different Southwestern inspired looks would be possible. Great video as usual tho.
Would be absolutely great if GG explored some western inspired outfits! I am nowhere near US, but I love the classic "cowboy fashion" and constantly trying to integrate some ideas in my wardrobe. I think they are great for casual occasions.
Thaank you!
I have been waiting for this video fortoo long
I will say here in Texas you can find bolo ties pretty commonly. You can easily find them in a church, and in many business situations, especially one-on-one situations. You'll find a lot of bankers who use them.
As stated in the video, you usually find them paired with cowboy boots, hat and often jeans. If the wearer is particularly fashion conscious, he'll be wearing a western cut shirt or flannel as well.
The sharp peak lapels shown in this video were amazing
Great video! Love you guys.
I hope you guys start making these other types of ties I love them but it’s hard to find them sometimes
Great video as always! The first link in the description does not work though
I've done some experiments as Preston said. An ascot is I love the most, so I often try to wear it as many situations as possible. I wear the ascot sometimes when I'm going out to work or meeting my clients, and after worked, I wear it to the mall. However, the ascot is unpopular in Thailand, only a few men wearing it (0.001% I think). The reason why it's unpopular is, I think, Thailand is extremely HOT. So when I wear, I often get some strange looks especially I am a woman who wears it. Then I also wear a crossover tie, and of cause, it looks good for a woman, also it is not too much style or too fancy. I've ever thought wearing bolo ties next (I personally called it as a cowboy tie hahaha), but I still can't find the right situation wearing it except when I went to a horse riding. XD
I own a couple of cravats but find it hard to pair with my ensemble: button-up shirts I pretty much wear everyday, but I don’t wear blazers (I’d like to, but since I’m 17 I might receive some weird looks). What should I pair my cravats with? The shirt and cardigan combination with a cravat in this video looked dapper in my opinion - I might have to steal that look.
"Tying One On" with Preston!✌🏽👍🏽
I love the folded stock tie with tailcoats or frock coats
What do you think of the new rolled in ties (la cravate vp)?
I actually like the bulldogger! I like its minimalism and geometric shape.
Apparently Turkish elementary student uniform includes a bolo. I wore it for 4 years and i had no idea it was something that originated in southern usa. I wonder how it got here, hmmmm
Can you do en entire video on bandana's as men's wear? I have worn a bandana formally more than once. This has got to be one of the oldest and most versatile "tie" styles in human history. It is part of the formal folk outfit for area as diverse as Belgium, Mexico, and Colombia. It is also saving lives right now. A bandana with a nice design looks great as a protective face mask when wearing a suit if you don't mind a little bit of a bandit look.
I love the continental tie.
bolo ties are cool. i live in new zealand and have worn one a couple of times
I am from Spain and in summer, due to the heat, I wear short-sleeved shirts and polo shirts, missing something around the neck (during the rest of the year I wear a narrow tie), would it be correct to wear the gazné or an ascot with polo shirts and short sleeve shirts? Thank you. I love this channel.
Is my school necktie a bolo tie?
It is a little thick and i also had to wear a pin and that pin was my schools logo.
I wore a bolo tie to a date once, and someone took a picture of me... back in 1993 or so... I just liked the tie. I didn't know its name or origins, but it looked cool.
I would like to take this opportunity to request a what to match bow ties with episode different styles and colours and how to pair with tweed. Much appreciated thanks AJL I
Whats the name of the tie worn by benzema at the 2022 ballon d or ceremony?
Prestaü is looking great in cravet.
Thanks
I like thos tie very much
Shoud you wear cufflinks with day ascot?
I love the cravat and contenetal tie 👅
Where can I find information on the rosette tie??
Yeah, a Preston-Video👌👌
What kind of neckwear is André Rieu wearing?
Personally I like his style but found nothing about it.
I like the bolo tie and I wore bolo ties when I was young. The leather tie looks interesting.
I also like the look of leather ties - but they feel like a belt around your neck
It would be interesting to make a vídeo about cowboy and gaucho formal wear, there's plenty of material for that arround the internet, and in my opinion, the uruguayan gauchos are the masters of rural formal wear
Nice outfit Preston
What if i want to wear a focale
What is the name of the Gentleman’s Gazette logo mascot?
Interestingly in Swedish the word plastron (plastrong in Swedish spelling) is used mostly to refer to the informal cravat, which is quite confusing.
I'm not sure I understand the difference between the Sheriff's Tie and the Planters Tie, can someone elaborate please?
Bolo ties. Only style I've ever owned.
Nice
What about the anarchic tie?
I usually wear a cravat an have friends who wear an ascot when we are in our steampunk outfits.
Lovely
Thank you for making this video. I’ve been fascinated with different neck wear and I haven’t been able to find any good information on them.
I’d be interested in tour take on the air tie.
I’ve never worn one before, but it would be interesting to see an episode dedicated to the cowboy hat. Has that been done here before?
In Spanish the word for tie is "corbata", from "kravat"
In German the word for tie is "Krawatte", from "kravat"
Bolo can work with any style depending on what the bolo is made
What's the difference between string tie and plantation tie? They look the same. The knot?
Hi, please make a video on how to sit like a gentleman. As in how the legs should be and what angle is ideal etc
I prefer to wear a bolotie or a floppy string bow tie. Of course with sleeve holders.
.
what about the alucard style cravat i like the look of it.
(can i get away with wearing a lavalliere style cravat or is that over the top?)
I'd go for it; but you should wear it like you mean it >; }
Learning in The Bahamas :)
Neckwear also prevented ticks from biting the neck, when hunting in a forest
I'm assuming the metal/wood bowties are clip ons
If I looked as cool as Edward Fox in "The Day of the Jackal" then i'd sport an Ascot-Day Cravat all the time.
I feel like if I personally wore the formal ascot, a shaped stock, or a sheriff’s tie around people would assume I just didn’t know how to tie and tie.
When I see the Bolo Tie all I think about is John Travolta in Pulp Fiction.
Would great to see an episode devoted to how to tie a gentleman's square.
team cravat here
You didn't mention the 1960-70s fantastic kipper tie.
Can you do this in the spanish channel? :(
When my Dad was a little boy, his neighbour was an older academic who worked at a local university. Whenever this man came home he'd take off his necktie and replace it with a cravat (ascot).
In German, Krawatte stands for the neck tie itself😇
And in Italy, cravatta is the neck tie!
Same in all Balkan countries, kravata is a tie
You have forgotten Schlips and Binder!
Ralph Marlin will never be out of style.
Several I was unfamiliar with! I think you skipped the humble bandana!
I shall don this bolo, because YOLO
Would love to know about styling bolo ties if you happen to know anyone who specializes in western wear.
The number one thing to remember about bolo ties is the shape and color of the slide. The vast majority I've seen are in silver, but other metals like brass or gold do exist, as well as bi-metal slides.
A fair number of bolo ties do come with turquoise stones set in them, so a good way to wear it stylishly would be to pair it with more conservative colors, like grays, dark blues and black.
Shape of the slide should also be considered. Ovals and rectangles, in my personal experience with them, tend to work remarkably well with a more formal ensemble, whereas other shapes like old coins, animals, arrowheads, etc, although fun and whimsical, are best reserved for more casual outfits.
Feel free to experiment, and have fun with it.
"i invented the piano key necktie! i invented it!"
jacob moogberg AKA mugatu.
bola.
actually a nasty strangulation weapon, too, like the garrote.
well it IS a kind of cravat to wear, i guess.....
How should one dress for a formal occasion such as a graduation ?
Are you the one wearing the one graduating?
I'd like to ask just a small detail about bolo ties: aren't they used by "Cherokee People?" Well, if yes, for how long? You know, when I heard about an inventor, I automatically thought about Cherokees. To be honest, I also think about native Canadian people. If they use, I don't know, but my mind travels in their direction too. Greetings.
Thank god I live in Texas I can wear a Bolo Tie as a Businessman instead of the normal tie
i think the string , continental, and bolo tie can still be worn well even if they former do look a bit dated.
I'm confused about the difference between the string tie and plantation tie. Do you know what it is?
Ok , this guy never blinked in this whole video...😮
