What's the western style tie that looks like a belt buckle
on a strand of rawhide called?
I though it was a "bolo", but can't find it in the dictionary.

"Bolo" is correct. It's in Webster's as "bolo tie". -- Sam | |||||

Yes, it's a bolo tie in the west whether the dicionary likes it
or not.
A string tie is another Western style of tie -- it's a narrow tie like
a ribbon, usually worn with a Western-cut white shirt. Gray with a gray
suit, black with a black suit. The shirt often has lace or ruffles. You
see them a lot in old Westerns (remember Yancey Derringer? He wore them
all the time) but not a whole lot on real people.
