Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Neck Tie's

I love the old pictures of a baseball game or train station where everyone there had on a dress or coat and tie. Now everyone looks like they just rolled their fat asses out of bed.

My gramps wore a shirt and tie to work everyday. Prolly a suit some days…

American flag tie tack or lapel pin. He was a WWII vet.

On weekends he still wore a ironed button up shirt.

He may of been puttering around doing woodworking.. and his shirt may of had paint on it.

But it was still ironed when he put it on…

At "The Warden"s 5 year cancer-free banquet, I wore my dress hat, boots, brown slacks, flaming pint shirt, and a black bow tie.
(Picture THAT, all you who have met me)
When appropriate to wear a tie, I often wear a paisley-looking tie. Those who observe closely see Yosemite Sam, Marvin Martian, Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, and more in said "paisley"

Used to be a man near Hazen,Ar. that wore a tie every day, with his overalls and work boots. A farmer all of His life. miles

My granddad was the same way. I never saw him in a pair of jeans either. Always a pair of slacks and a pressed shirt, even if we were working sheep or cows.

My uncle Guiher pretty much always wore a shirt and tie with dress pants if he was going to do business on the square. (down town Winterset is on a square around the County Courthouse) Only in the summer did he wear a short sleeve shirt with no tie. My friend's uncle Clyde always wore a shirt and tie, other than the hottest days of summer. Those guys were young men in the WWI and between the war's years. It apparently was a personal tradition and they carried it until their final days.

I don't mind wearing ties but I prefer clip-ons.
A big faux pas by some I know but here are my reasons.

1. self defense wise, noone can grab ahold of the tie effectively turning it into a noose!

2. I don't feel strangled!

3. My OCD demands the knot to be perfect so a clip-on is the answer for me!

My Grandfather never wore a tie or suit in his life, he died at 98 years old in 1958, my mother and aunts tried to get all his sons to wear ties at his Funeral, none did, 3 months later Grand Mother died at 98 years old none of the boy's wore a tie at her Funeral, I asked a couple of them why no tie their answer was they never saw us with a tie on when they were alive, we would be hipocrites (ms) to wear a tie here. All 11 boys and 2 girls, shed tears. Respect and love is what counts not ties. Rio7

Not at all taken that way - fine post. I, too, come from folks with stained callused hands and understand.

And proper in this case is neck-ties, without the apostrophe. The neck-tie "posses" nothing.
It's akin to using "caliber" to denote the cartridge a rifle is chambered for.
