I can say I am lucky in as much as my Alma Mater has several ties. The University of Glasgow Tie (often called the graduate tie, and only worn in my experience by graduates) is black with narrow gold stripes in the 'regimental' style. I do sometimes wear it with my tweed argyle kilt daywear. There are also solid blue ties with the University crest, as well as the University tartan tie.
