HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

[DerekS]

^^ I much prefer the slide style of teh KW. Wont snag youre silks. I wish it was a little thinner though.

 

[Scbrown]

Yeah I like it too AAS.

Suggestion - get a tie bar to clip your tie and thus stop the reverse back blade from peeking out and causing eyebrows to raise. Only for the love of god please don't get one of those wanky little one inch wide ones from The Tie Bar that GQ has splattered all over every single photo layout they ever do!

plus. *******. one. i LOATHE those things.

OMG lets get one in red! ONE IN BLUE !! OH ****! THEY HAVE YELLOW TOO!!!!!

GQ editor came to my school for a career event and told all of us wearing ties to get one.

I had one raised eyebrow stuck for the rest of the day. Aka I'm not doing that

 

[in stitches]

that KW bar, it sure is pretty.

Not $25 and quite overpriced but Kent Wang has what I would call the perfect tie bar.

I really like that KW tie bar. I've been eyeing it for a while. I ended up getting this one from Rugby, but I don't use it much.

Yeah I've got the KW one. It's great, for sure. Falls down a bit but you can bend it. Not a lot of bend, but enough to secure it over a thin to thick tie without ruining it.

That said, I've never worn it out of the house yet.

Thinner in what way? It's pretty perfect. Can take pics from my house when I get home if you want.

I had a very similar one that i found at an antique store..only it was about 3" long, and about as big/thick as a toothpick. I lost it one weekend and havent been able to find a replacement since.

Aah. Ok this is thicker than that. It's a bundle of tooth-pics. I think it's a great size though. And 1.75" is great. I don't want it to cover the entire tie, I want it to slightly pass the middle.

actually using common sense (which i typically lack) it was probably 2-2.5".... but the thinness is the biggest part for me...it was quite discreet. Shaped the same as KWs though...his is the closest ive been able to find to what i want. But im also too lazy to wear a tie bar anymore.

eBay is your friend Derek. I have a plain one and an 'engine turned' textured one, both eBay bargains in real silver for about $40 each IIRC. They look similar to the ones pictured. Past the mid point of the tie is probably a rough rule of thumb for size, and a decent width too but not so wide as to mistaken for a money clip doing double duty!

Yeah, haha. I know all the details on it. And that you can adjust it. That it doesn't snag, etc.

Oh but no, it's only crossed my doorway once, in a box. lol.

I got a tie bar a few years ago...I haven't worn it since I joined SF. It's engraved to match my tattoo, a beautiful butterfly the words "sum ergo sum." Can't really see myself wearing it despite how much I love butterflies these days

Planning on uploeading this for tomorrow's Challenge, but don't know if the stripes in the shirt and the stripes in the tie would qualify... and a new photo.
