Clip on Ties

[phaux]

It was used as a scrap of cloth to keep the shirt under it clean. Huge lecture on the history of business dress in sociology class but that's its start.

Well that's neat, learn something new everyday.

In this day and age though they serve no purpose except aesthetics, like a woman wearing jewelry.

While they may seem aesthetically pleasing, I never understood the point of a tie. I mean, what guy was sitting around a few hundred years ago and just up and decided to droop a piece of clothe from his neck, and then it caught on??

Three piece looks silly for work IMO and I've never seen anyone at work wearing one.

I agree, slacks and vest only!!!

Seriously, fuck vests.

Army taught me. I'm willing to sit down and teach the OP.

I look at it another way. I have a lot of ties and know how to tie them. BUT,...why NOT a clip on tie? I mean in this world of everyone trying to do everything faster, easier whose to say someone couldn't make a high quality clip on tie that would never be questioned?

Odd, my Dad tought me.... When I was 12, it is fucking easy. Come on guys.

I learned how to tie a tie from my boyscout manual.

If I could afford it, I would wear a nice three piece suit every day. Haven't you ever heard the old phrase, "Dress for the job you want?"

For those that don't know how and refuse to learn how to tie a tie, grow the fuck up.

Note to self, do not ask about clip on ties here.

I can use that extra tenth or hp wayyyy more often than i can use a tie.

How old are you? Even if you don't wear them for work, what the fuck do you wear to funerals? Jorts and a t shirt?


This thread is cracking me the fuck up.

I do the simple, four-in-hand, or half windsor. I don't wear ties frequently enough, so it's whatever the motor-skills revert to when I'm doing it. Regardless, I can never take the ties off fast enough.

<-- don't like the choke collars.
