The Bolo tie

Okay, so we already know that bow-ties, neck scarves, and cravats are making their way into a modern mans wardrobe, but what about that old Western bolo that made a small appearance in the 90’s?

With fashion being so broad and interlaced it’s not required for you to be wearing cowboy boots with your Bolo, not just yet anyhow. But I have been wondering lately if the Bolo is ready to be the next thing for men’s fashion.







Western as a theme in fashion has been in constant rotation for years, just look at the cravat, the cowboy shirt, boots above the ankle, and it’s old favorite, denim!

While on the topic of Western wear, I thought to include this particular tie which I’ve seen on a Runway model for Paul Smith AW08. You might remember Col. Sanders wore one too.


I don’t know if it was an after thought for Sir Paul to include it or if he actually sells them but they’re fantastic.



This website sells many varieties of it, if there are other places I haven’t seen it.

What do you think?
