Scroll to the bottom, they have all sorts of knots. Now I have to decide if I am going to try one of these on Sunday.

that's pretty funny. I learned how to tie it originally by watching a youtube video.

Are you doing Trinity for the religious significance, or just for the flair/challenge? If the latter, you might as well go Eldredge...

When I was an LDS missionary I wore a tie every single day for 2 years. Except maybe a couple days when I was too sick to go out.

Now I remember that I had a middle school teacher at Ames Middle School (way back in the day) who refused to wear ties calling them the most useless piece of clothing ever invented. In retrospect, he was right.

Haven't decided which knot I will try...

I'm sure the origins of the tie were a bit practical. Hell, the coat, vest and tie all likely came about as a way to combat living in cold, damp environments with drafty stone shelters. Ties weren't always worn over high collars but often were worn over a bare neck (like a cravat) which would certainly serve a practical use.

Just liked the look of it.

I own 8 but I used to have to wear a suit and tie everyday for work but that ended after Covid.

I loved wearing a suit and tie everyday. Now I sit at my desk wearing a company golf polo, jeans, and Cole Haans, so i can’t complains

I do think the dress code for most jobs have become a little too relaxed but also depends on the job.

What I can’t stand is how relaxed some wedding attire is at times. When I go to a wedding and 90% of the guests are wearing a combination of a suit/blazer no tie/at minimum decent dress shirt and slacks and there’s a handful of people wearing jeans, hey dudes, and a casual shirt it makes my skin crawl. Have a little respect for yourself and the people who invited you to their wedding.

Holy cow don't go to a rural Iowa wedding then. They have become way casual if your not a family member or over 50 jeans for sure and st best a button up shirt.

Hahaha. Funny enough this is exactly where my comments came from. I grew up in rural Iowa but live out on the west coast now. I often come back for weddings for family and friends and am baffled by how people dress. To each their own but if it was my wedding I’d be insulted if someone wore cargo shorts or jeans.

Heck last time I was home I attended Mass with my parents and couldn’t believe how casual the Catholic Church that I grew up going to had become.

The number of wedding photos I see with the freaking groom wearing a trucker or camo hat is astounding. Have some self respect and respect for your bride and guests.

And it would look a hell of a lot more classy

Gentlemen of CF.

Let's do this.
