Bow ties - where do I find decent bow ties?

I haven't seen many on B&S.
Most stores only carry their formal bow ties online, that's not what I'm looking for. Plain white or black isn't what I need right now.
Duchamp has a lot I like but I don't want to pay 18 pounds to ship them to Canada.
I have an Etro blue paisley that I love. But I want a few more...
Where do I find them?
Patterned? Wool? Silk? etc

The Ben Silver catalog usually features bow ties.

I don't wear bowties much, but most of my ascots ("cravats" as they call them) come from them. Good people to do business with.

That's considerabely cheaper than e.g. beauties -- and with free international shipping to boot. What's the catch?

And, on another note, if I were to start a bowtie collection, where should I start? ;-)8
