When invited to black tie affairs, the search for new, elegant but not so expensive bow ties (butterfly

) and cummer bands begin. Most of the local tailors produce lousy ones and the really good brands can cost you an arm and a leg. This is where I get mine.
Bow ties: Marcks & Spencer. They have both types available and the price is very reasonable.
Cummer Band: I will edit this post or post a new one as soon as I remember where I got the last one. It was a good buy!
