History lesson; bolo ties are tied into the classic American attire. Traced back to the early 1900s when Native American's used leather cords with ornaments to fasten their neckerchiefs. By the 1950s the bolo tie got widespread popularity being featured in Western movies with John Wayne & Elvis Presley. In the 1970 a few states, including Texas, recognized the bolo tie as a symbol of Western heritage. During the 1980s and 1990s the bolo tie experienced another surge with the rise of rockabilly revival and international acclaim, most notably in Japan, South Korea, and China. These Asian bolo ties featured unique designs with materials like exotic woods and jade.
Through the early 2000s and even today the bolo tie continues to be a versatile fashion accessory that can speak volumes of the individuals style and eccentric demeanor.
