Paul Gervais de Bédée said...: This does bring up the question of the tie clip. Do you or don't you? I see that HRH wears them, and have observed that he also tucks the end of his tie into his trousers. How do we feel about this? A certain outspoken and rather insecure Viennese countess recently told me, "we don't wear tie clips here ... it's cheap!" A malicious little snarl followed her condemnation of the custom. I'd love to hear thoughts on this!; 24 November, 2011 10:34
Anonymous said...: Tucking the end of one's tie into one's trousers is fine - if you never want to have sex ever again.; 24 November, 2011 11:24
v. Braun. said...: Very neat!

(Guys I personally actually have nothing against tucking a tie into trousers but don't do it myself. Tie bars and style etc. very much depend on your social status, position and how you view your life; depending on your job (or non job) and living conditions. What I never understood about many is how they always seem to generalize without seemingly being able to also appreciate the beauty and quality of something that would *not* fit their own life/-styles.); 24 November, 2011 13:55
Laguna Beach Fogey said...: I do not wear a tie clip and have never done so.

It reminds me of a particularly austere Jesuit priest-calculus-teacher I had for a master around 1985.

I do not tuck my tie into my trousers and do not recommend you do either.; 24 November, 2011 15:36
A.E.F. said...: Admiral, thank you for your assertions on tie clips and tie tucking. I was worried there, for a moment...; 24 November, 2011 18:16
Admittedly Uptight said...: A simple strip of cloth with 2 buttonholes in it works wonders: Keeps your tie in place without an unsightly tie-clip:

La Sombra Sofisticada said...: Very nice! (v. Braun - Well said!); 24 November, 2011 23:58
Paul Gervais de Bédée said...: Just wanted to be clear: I have never clipped nor tucked.; 25 November, 2011 05:33
GS said...: Well said v.Braun & Admiral. Personally I only wear one with a slim (vintage) or knitted tie that would cover the whole width. I've tried a clip that covers 3/4 the way across on more modern silk ties & just couldn't bring myself to leave the house in doing so. All down to personal preference & individualism.; 26 November, 2011 14:39
