I come across this while studying the old mob gangs !\n\nThe Cincinnati Bow Tie or Columbian Neck Tie is from when the mobs or mafia would cut a victims throat, then cut out there tounge and jam it back into the cut throat.\n\nThis would normally be resevered for people who would " rat out " gang members to the cops.

could mean suit instead of black tie affair, or it could be that you could wear a nice pair of dress pants with a button down shirt and a tie.  i would probably stay away from jeans.

isn't it a garment worn with a suit?  I guess if you cut yourself shaving (before work for example) and blood gets on the tie, then I guess you can call it 'blood ties'

A Tie Bar is not the same as a tie clasp.  A tie bar goes under the knot on a tie.\n\nThere are 2 types of tie bars(also called collar bars.  The first type has small "balls" on the ends and they go through small holes on the collar turn downs on certain shirts.  The other type has small slits on the ends that slide over the edges of collar turndowns for regular shirts.\n\nYou would get the same effect using Tab collar shirts.

Cocktail attire does not necessary mean that you should wear a tie. Nowadays, cocktail attire has become less formal than in antiquity. I would go with what I like to call modern chic.\n\nIf you are having cocktails at night:\nWear a dark-colored suit (I personally will always like black) with a crisp white button down shirt, leaving the first top two buttons undone. If you have a lot of chest hair that peeks up from over your shirt collar, you may want to make sure you wear a lightweight tee shirt underneath. Do not wear a tie or a belt (unless you absolutely must). Keep it simple and elegant and effortlessly sophisticated.\n\nIf you are having cocktails during the day:\nFollow the guidelines above, but switch the dark colored suit for something a little lighter like a nice tan-colored suit.\n\nNo matter what you wear, you will always looking dashing if you (1) make sure you hair is groomed and neat, (2) keep your eyebrows groomed and brushed, (3) have clean teeth, and (4) have clean nails.

Necktie\nFrom Wikipedia\n\nA necktie (usually just called a tie) is a long piece of material worn around the neck and under a collar with a knot tied in front. The modern necktie's original name was the four-in-hand tie. The modern necktie, along with the ascot and the bow tie, are all descended from the cravat. They are mainly worn by men, though they are sometimes worn by women, either as fashionable dress wear or as part of a uniform.\n\nCravat\nA cravat is the neckband that was the forerunner of the modern tailored necktie. From the end of the 16th century, the term "band" applied to any long strip of cloth worn round the neck that was not a "ruff". The ruff itself had started its career in the earlier 16th century as a starched and pleated strip of white linen that could be freshly changed to keep the neck of a doublet from getting increasingly grimy, or for use as a bib or napkin. A "band" could indicate a plain, attached shirt collar or a detached "falling band" that draped over the doublet collar.\n\n \nNecktie fashions have changed over time. This 1818 pamphlet depicts various styles of tying a cravat.The modern form of the cravat originated in the 1630s. Like most male fashions between the 17th century and World War I, it had a military origin. During the reign of Louis XIII of France, Croatian mercenaries enlisted in a regiment that supported the King and Richelieu against the Duc de Guise and the Queen Mother, Marie de Medici. The traditional outfit of these Croats aroused curiosity in Paris on account of the unusual and picturesque scarves distinctively tied about their necks. The scarves were made of various cloths, ranging from coarse material for common soldiers, to fine linen and silk for officers. The word "cravat" comes from the French cravate, and many sources state that this is a corruption of "Croat" — Croatian "Hrvat". However there is evidence that the word was in use in France in the 14th century and in Italy in 16th century. In one of his ballads, the French writer Eustache Deschamps (c. 1340–1407), used the phrase "faites restraindre sa cravate" (pull his cravat tighter). Considering the interdependency of many European regions (particularly the French) with the Venetian Empire, and the fact that this empire at one time occupied the bulk of the Croatian coast, that type of cross-culturalization would not be unprecedented. Whatever the origin of the word the new form of dress became known as a cravate and the French were quite ready to give up the starched linen ruffs that they had been wearing and adopt the new fashion of loose cravates made of linen or muslin with broad edges of lace.\n\nOn his return to England from exile in 1660, Charles II brought with him this new word in fashion:\n\n"A cravatte is another kind of adornment for the neck being nothing else but a long towel put about the Collar, and so tyed before with a Bow Knott; this is the original of all such Wearings; but now by the Art and Inventions of the seamsters, there is so many new ways of making them, that it would be a task to name, much more to describe them". (Randle Holme, Academy of Armory and Blazon, 1688.) \nA gentleman's cravat would be made of fine lace. Grinling Gibbons the famous carver and sculptor, made a highly realistic one, carved out of a piece of white limewood.\n\nDuring the wars of Louis XIV of 1689–1697, the flowing cravat was replaced, except for court occasions, by the more current and equally military Steinkirk, named for the Battle of Flanders of 1692. The Steinkirk was a long narrow, plain or lightly trimmed neckcloth worn with military dress, wrapped just once about the neck in a loose knot, with a lace of fringed ends that were twisted together and tucked out of the way into the button-hole (of either a coat or a waistcoat) The steinkirk proved to be popular with both men and women until the 1720s.\n\nT

Not true. Some D&Ds in Singapore are real black tie events. It all depends on the company's culture. Of course in Singapore, where dressing up for ball and dinner is rather rare, companies are hesitant to do a high key event, with the risk of the staff not turning up just becos they dun have clothes to wear.
