Bow Tie Knot Details
Orientation: The animation is presented as though the wearer were seeing his own reflection.
Structure: The Bow Tie is based on a Square (Reef) Knot and is the same as the bow commonly used on a Shoelace. It feels different and awkward to tie because of the nature of the material and the need to achieve a neat, symmetrical result.
Advantages: Typically perceived as more formal and elegant than other neckties.
Disadvantages: The Bow Tie is a more challenging knot to tie neatly.
