Neck Tie Popularity at All Time Low

[Ozman1944]

Ties are to stupidest most useless article of man's clothing ever foisted on us. I haven't worn one in 35 years. Nasty things.
Of course with the collar makers in on the "conspiracy", one has to wear something at the gap left at the throat. A classy Bolo Tie can fit the bill, and is easily applied.
Personally I prefer my own subsitute - though I confess I hadn't considered this aspect when I discovered my Vocation......

Ties can be a nice way to throw some tartan in when you're not feeling up to wearing a kilt or trews.

Very true. I really like the way a tartan tie looks with a solid color suit or sport coat. I've been meaning to get a tie in my clan's tartan for a while but just haven't gotten around to it.

Since I was told that I couldn't wear my kilt to church, I opted for the necktie in Cameron tartan (Mod). Now that I'm an ordained minister, I wear the clergy collar like Stan. Now to get a kilt in the Clark (Clergy) tartan and I'll be in tall cotton.

I dare hope you wouldn't say that to a parishoner who happens to like wearing them.

Horses for courses, gentlemen...my only question is...how would you all react if someone substituted "kilt" for "tie", or even a particular style of kilt?

If we're going to demand respect for one style of clothing, we really shouldn't run down others just because we do not personally prefer them.
