I have enjoyed this thread. I've known about regimental, club, etc.... ties since I've been a member of the forum. I've done a few searches for striped ties and a lot of these ties look like the regimental ties. They may be the same tie, just not sold as belonging to a specific regiment. Would this cause a blunder?

For my own alma mater, I have two choices. One is an orange and white stripe and the other is navy with narrow orange stripes and a repeated torch pattern. I also saw one for an Institute of Bankers. Since I am employed by a bank, would that be appropriate?
