Historically, the “pre-tied(ready-made) type” has existed since the late 19th century, when bow ties first became popular, as has the “self tie type”. Both have coexisted for a long time, but the “pre-tied type” is more common today.

The "Western style bow ties" are also called "Western string tie", "Western ribbon tie", or the "Plantation tie". The word "plantation" as used is thought to refer to the plantation owners in the American continent since the 19th century.

There are various theories about the origin of this shape, but it seems common that it originated in the Americas. In the 1950s, in London, it was also adopt into the fashion of young people called "Teddy Boys" or "Teds", influenced by Edwardian fashion style (ca.1901-11) and rock‐and‐roll music.

In particular, this "Western square-end" bow tie is sometimes called the "Colonel Sanders bow" because it was a trademark to wear a white suit with a bow tie of this shape.

A "Western bow tie" need be made from a material that is prone to drooping, such as string, ribbon, or soft fabric. In addition to this square-end, there are pointed-end and oblique-end, and there are various lengths of hanging parts.
