Topic: Clip On Tie

[Derek]

Goes anyone know where in Edmonton you can buy a clip on tie. Obviously the same color as deu's.

Thanks before hand.... I did search just cant seem to find anything. Would they carry these at the Canex? If anyone knows what time is the Canex retail store on the Edmonton garrison, that would be awesome.

Nobody knows a place?

Don't think you can. Better learn how to tie a tie properly then.

I'll save you the war story from a parade in 1982 - suffice to say - LEARN TO TIE ONE - it's not that hard.

Here're some pictures for you:  http://www.tie-a-tie.net/windsor.html

Here's a video for your:  http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-tie-a-tie-using-a-full-windsor-knot

Stand in front of mirror and practice.

Canex sells a version.  Not very solid though and it'll cost you about 15$.  At least that's what it was going for in St-Jean.

That's the best advice. Hope you never get caught with a clip on.

LOCKED with usual caveats.

From a PM sent to me,

Maybe you could unlock this and add this link I use for "How to Tie a Bow Tie" (for Mess Kit, of course):  http://www.brooksbrothers.com/TieKnots/bowtie.tem

and stickied.

Here I go, resurrecting an old thread (thanks Bruce)

Even though I think that clip-on ties are a cheat and not acceptable there are some people that may be justified in using them. I am told by some RCMP members that for police it is a safety issue to wear them - bad guy tries to choke you with your tie and it snaps off.
The question is, do MP's have this same policy?

cheers,

IIRC their dress of the day doesn't include a tie.

Why would you buy a clip on tie? Learn to tie a tie, it is not all that hard. Not to mention it show how lazy you are and if you get caught with it.... well lets say it wouldn't be pretty.

Yes it does. Winter Dress includes long sleeve, tie, SBA.

Why would you buy a clip on tie?

I thought the reason explained in reply #7 was quite clear, and it specified to whom it might apply.

If you're too lazy to learn how to tie a tie (which is actually simple if you bother to invest 15 minutes practicing), then just buy another one from logisticorp and keep it tied.
