 I would like to introduce you to Bob...

In early November 2013, PV Neckwear exclusively launched the career of a renown spokesperson for the line P5 PV Neckwear Collection, overnight, made “Bob” a household name. In very short order he became a respectable family man that was given the face of the PV Neckwear line and spurred several big names to wear the astute bowtie collection; was invited to the most prestigious events nationally; was briefly nominated to one of the best role models for all bowtie collections world wide; and became one of the most recognizable faces in the fashion world.

There was just one minor catch: Bob was a mannequin. Not a mannequin in the way a runway model is a mannequin. But a man's mannequin.

Through his journey of family, and success this P5 man will show strengths of all natures both fashionable and honorable. Follow bob's life and be a part of his successful fashionable statements.

Bob's Fashion Education: 

Origin of Bow Ties

The bowtie originated among Croatian mercenaries during the Prussian wars of the 17th century: the Croat mercenaries used a scarf around the neck to hold together the opening of their shirts. This was soon adopted by the upper classes in France, then a leader in fashion, and flourished in the 18th and 19th centuries.

It is uncertain whether the cravat then evolved into the bow tie and necktie, or whether the cravat gave rise to the bow tie, which in turn led to the necktie. The most traditional bow ties are usually of a fixed length and are made for a specific size neck. Sizes can vary between approximately 14 and 20 inches just like a comparable shirt collar. Fixed-length bow ties are preferred when worn with the most formal wing-collar shirts, so as not to expose the buckle or clasp of an adjustable bow tie. Adjustable bow ties are the standard when the tie is to be worn with less formal lie-down collar shirts which obscure the neckband of the tie.
