I think that I read or heard somewhere that the proper length (across) of a bowtie (knot and wings) should be close or equal to the distance between the outer points of your eyes. Now, I can't find that "guideline" anywhere but it does make some sense to me. Is this one of those guidelines that everyone knows but isn't mentioned often? Or did I dream it up? I am about to buy a new silk bow tie for my tuxedo and want to get the dimensions right.
Here's a creepy looking drawing to illustrate my question. Enjoy!
