Tie clip / tie bar

[Lulu-in-Ny]

What about tie pins/tacs? I have managed to get my boyfriend into a tie every day, and i got him two tie pins, because he doesn't like the bars. You guys think maybe a neat Vintage bar might do the trick??[huh]

Yes, I think it might. Frankly, myself and others don't like making our ties look like swiss cheese. Maybe he's one of those guys. It's worth a shot. [huh]

My favorite one:

I really like that US Air Corps one, Thunder! (At least, that's what it looks like.) I don't think it would have been a uniform item but it's pretty cool.

Cheers,

Thanks Tom, it is indeed a USAAC clip. I'm also guessing it wouldn't have been a uniform item but rather a post-service "souvenir".

Just got this beauty in the mail today:

It's silver plated - and my guess is that is is from the 20s or 30s.

I hate the way most tie tacks look and the fact that they require a hole, but I love to attach them to the keeper loop behind the fat part of the tie so that they don't show at all. Once the bar is threaded through the buttonhole you get all the benefits of retention without the appearance of the tack.

That is nice. How long is it?

Here are a couple new tie bars I bought for my husband. We do reenacting for 1933-1934 so these are great!

This one was supposed to be a 1933 tie bar and hair barrette. They are souvenirs from the Chicago World's Fair. Turned out the barrette was really a collar clip. So he made out like a bandit! They were in the original box and don't look like they were ever used.

This one is a 1934 tie bar also from the Chicago World's Fair

That's lovely--it looks like it was inspired by Georg Jensen's designs.

 

[JEEP]

Thank you. That is indeed quite possible.

I am bidding on a quite simular one in massive silver right now.

I like tie bars, and wear one on occasion, should more often. But, I really don't like tie TACKS... Just really think they look TACKY..

 

[Jerekson]

Holy smokes! I need to get some tie bars!!!

 

[Tomasso]

Sweet!

They were in the original box and don't look like they were ever used.

oooooo

I want something as plain and simple as this, but the price is a bit out of my range. The tie clips I own are of the hinged type.

Anyone have a similar vintage one they can let go?

Check out the "Tall solid vintage oxford shirt" down below which is "updated with a shorter, hipper collar point."

 

[Feraud]

Stick to the hinge types. I lost a beautiful custom amber tie clip my wife gave me. It was one of those ridiculous slide on types...

 

[Jerekson]

Good advice...

 

[Feraud]

You can charge me guilty of still wearing the occasional slide on tie clip..

I am a more cautious fellow than I used to be.

 

[Jerekson]

Well, with one that cool, I don't blame you.
