When the 11th Doctor, Matt Smith, declared that ‘bow ties are cool’ and started wearing one in 2010, fashion retailer Topman saw an increase in sales of 94%

Just a fun bit of trivia.

My then 11 year old daughter wanted to wear a bowtie too after the Doctor made this declaration as well. But we were unable to order one online as everywhere was sold out. We did find a nice collection of them at a thrift shop however.

Gotta love the ole cycle of "what once was old is made new again." Just like the Doctor.

I'd love to see a resurgence in popularity of cravats just because they look cool as all hell.

I actually have several, the issue i have is finding different ways to tie them. Mostly i wear wild rags though.
