Why were bow ties invented?

[Meat Target]

Did someone back in the 1700's or whatever think, "wow, I really need an article of clothing that just says, 'please hit me in the throat with a blunt object'"?

 

[Lokenstien]

Thirty Years war Croats wanted to keep their shirts to their throats and then the rich Frenchmen stole it to boast.

 

[Testacles Maximus]

Why wear any tie, really. They serve no purpose.

It was so bowtie pasta would make sense, otherwise we wouldn't have a bow tie.

The ruling class makes average working folk wear ties in order to remind them that they're led around by the neck and that the only way out is through a rope and a knot.

It's all part of the globalist mind games.

In East Europe, it's called the kravata after them.

 

[The Evil Midnight Bomber]

That's why the cops wear clip on ties (if they even wear ties anymore in the first place). So don't try to stangle one with his own tie, because that won't work anymore

Some of us like ornamenting ourselves a bit. I love ties, the irony being that I live in one of the few places in the West where it is not part of formal dress in anything other than a legal occasion. Putting one on here is akin to saying you have a court date.

You never know when you'll need to improvise a noose, so I always carry one around my neck.

 

[CoolSixtyNiner]

I always thought it was a way to tighten/loosen the neck of a shirt easily that became more ornate over time. No i have never looked this up and no i will not look it up now.
