Welcome to the definitive guide to the third iteration of the most regal, the most elegant, the most utterly bewildering accessory known to mankind: the bow tie.
With its origins dating back to the 17th century, the bow tie has undergone many revisions, but none as radical as its third iteration, released to the public in 1952.
This version of the bow tie, affectionately known as the "Tie-3", was designed to be more comfortable, more durable, and more... well, more everything.
Featuring a unique blend of silk, polyester, and pure, unadulterated chaos, the Tie-3 was an instant hit among the fashionably-challenged elite.

And, as with all great power comes great responsibility, we urge you, dear reader, to use your newfound knowledge of the Tie-3 wisely.
Or, at the very least, use it to make a statement.
Or, if you're feeling particularly adventurous, use it to start a riot.
