A type of tie worn around the neck with decorative metal slides, popular in Western and Native American fashion.
From Spanish 'bolo,' which may come from the Spanish word for 'ball' or 'lump,' referring to the decorative knot or slide. It became popular in the American Southwest in the early 20th century.
The bolo tie was officially adopted as the state neckwear of Arizona and is iconic in Southwestern culture—it's basically the cowboy's formal alternative to a regular necktie!
