In the 1930s  Edward  the Prince of Wales  became the unwitting embodiment of two more  even though he in fact wore neither. It was not until 1989 that a fourth became popular. Throughout the 150-year his-tory of the modern tie  only four tie knots have been recognized. That is  until now.  In this history of and guide to tie wearing  Thomas Fink and Yong Mao trace the peculiar evolution of the knotted neckcloth from the seventeenth century to its modern form. These two Cambridge physicists applied a model more often used to describe atomic motion to the twists and turns of this central item of mens dress. They discovered eighty-five ways to tie a tie  thirteen of which survived their aesthetic test  and earned their recommendation. The result is a rich blend of history  science  fashion  and practicality that will become the must-have accessory for all well-dressed men.  Wonderfully illustrated and wittily written  this little classic of sartorial elegance will charm and inform in equal measure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45280091635765,"sku":"ByrdShop_1841152498","price":59.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781841152493.jpg?v=1780620398","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-85-ways-to-tie-a-tie-9781841152493","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
