Pre-tied bow tie or self-tie bow tie?
Pre-tied bow ties are extremely popular. A bow tie which doesn’t have to be tied is called a self-tie bow tie. It isn’t easy to tie a self-tie bow tie, but practice makes perfect! A self-tie fits smoothly and lends style to it. A pre-tied tie can easily be tied and therefore always fits around your neck perfectly.

Bow ties: history
The bow tie originated in France and it gets its name from the French, jabot, a type of readymade 17th century lace cravat. Normally only white bow ties were worn by aristocrats during formal meetings. But in the 18th and 19the century even more coloured bow ties were introduced, especially by Irish immigrants (to America).
The black bow tie was during that time quit unusual. Pierre Lorillard V invented the tuxedo as an alternative to the tailcoats worn with white bow ties. In the beginning this was very daring, but finally became a trend.
These days a bow tie is standard at proms or weddings.
