ClueTwo Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Amazing how that works out...I've probably tied about 5 of those in my entire life.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26SidedCube Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Neck ties are like novelties are like royalties. We've all got 'em, they're all "ties". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanity Posted May 25, 2004 Author Share Posted May 25, 2004 yeah, i ussually go for the four in hand myself, cause i'm tall and it gives me extra slack. but i thought i'd dress things up a bit tomorrow... now i'm reconsidering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanity Posted May 25, 2004 Author Share Posted May 25, 2004 The Dimple http://www.neckties.com/template/dimple01.jpg'> 1. After you've tied your knot but before you tighten it up to your throat, neatly pinch the fabric directly underneath the knot. http://www.neckties.com/template/dimple02.jpg'> 2. Keep pinching as you tighten the knot; make sure the dimple's locked in. http://www.neckties.com/template/dimple03.jpg'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski Mask Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 I seem to remember seeing stupid pop-ups for some "dimpling tool" to help you get a crisp professional dimple in your tie. Its never concerned me that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanity Posted May 25, 2004 Author Share Posted May 25, 2004 http://www.cinemamontreal.com/images/people-244-christianbale.jpg'> well, the dimple should concern you ese. it should be approx 1 inch across, and the sides between 60 and 50 degrees in slope.

Ski Mask Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 what concerns me right now is finding a pair of plain cufflinks that won't cost me a fortune. I have no idea where the hell to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duh-rye-won Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 i really pity people who have to wear suits every day. as if wearing a heavy uncomfortable jacket in the middle of summer isn't bad enough, you gotta tie a fucking rope around your neck too. that makes a lot of fucking sense. whos fucking idea was it anyway? what an asshole.

Ski Mask Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 right now i'm fortunate enough to be able to go to work in jeans, a comfortable shirt, and a pair of chucks. but if they stick me back in one of the branches its back to the business attire.

Guest Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Originally posted by ese what concerns me right now is finding a pair of plain cufflinks that won't cost me a fortune. I have no idea where the hell to go. hit up an antique shop or a pawn shop that has lots of old jewlery. You can get some serious deals in the pawnshops, and for jewlery... it's guaranteed one-of-a-kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
