Thanks to all for the many suggestions. The cheapest we found we $2.00 at
several places for red bow ties (regular, not clip-ons). I didn't ask for
cummerbunds but some offered, so that's included below.

Six Stars Uniform Company (D'Mana Company, Inc.) in Brooklyn..
They have 1" or 2" bowties in either clip-on or adjustable band models
for $3.00 each. If you're buying 50 to 75,
you may be able to negotiate a better price with them, too. We received
several orders for various concert apparel and have always been pleased.

www.tuxedowholesaler.com has them for 2.50 each......that is about the going
rate..they are usually fast and cooperative. I buy used tux shoes from them
and they are great at 10.00 a pair.
