Historical record, Fashion ------

The "Drop-bow-knot pointed-end" is the shape of a pre-tied bow tie that imitates a the "Pointed-end" of the self-tie bow tie tied with a "drop-bow-knot",and both of its tips of tie hang down like drops.

Historically, Thomas Lipton, the founder of the British tea brand, liked this shape of a bow tie and always wore it. When looking carefully at the portraits of Sir Lipton, it is possible that he tied the "self-tie bow tie'' with a "drop-bow-knot" every time, or he have tied it in the same way and sewed together.

Unless you use a very soft fabric, the tip of the tie will not hang down just by tying the "basic-bow-knot". He might have used some tricks.
