Clip-On Ties
If you ask us, the facts say it all when it comes to clip-ons:
clip-on tie [klip-on tahy]: noun. - a bow tie or neck tie which is permanently tied in a perfect knot, complete with a dimple just below, and which is attached instantly to the front of the wearer's shirt collar by metal clip, hook and eye, or elastic
Common Reasons for Using Clip-On Ties:
- tightly tied standard neckties may be a source of irritation and discomfort
- do not know how to tie the perfect knot every time
- occupational hazard: police officers & security guards often wear clip-ons as a precaution against being strangled by the tie (a tie clip may be used by persons in uniform to keep the tie from "flying" in the wind)
- some schools require clip-on ties so students can't loosen them during hot weather, or use them to "tie-whip" other students
- speed. simply strap it on and go
