Bolo tie

Popularity and Regional Associations

Bolo ties are widely associated with Western wear in the United States.
They are most common in the western areas of the country.
Bolo tie slides and tips in silver have been part of Hopi, Navajo, Zuni, and Puebloan silversmithing traditions since the mid-20th century.
The bolo tie was made the official neckwear of Arizona in 1971 and New Mexico in 2007.
In 2007, the bolo tie was also named the official tie of Texas.

Victor Cedarstaff of Wickenburg, Arizona claims to have invented the bolo tie in the late 1940s.
He later patented his slide design.
The name 'bolo tie' is derived from 'boleadora,' an Argentine and Uruguayan lariat.
