I don’t recall just now where I read it, but one guys theory about ties is that they’re a holdover from slave collars… a loop around your neck with a tail that can be tied to the collar of the slave in front of you whenever they need to march a column of slaves to some place. Kind of adds a new dimension to the expression “Corporate Slave”.

Terry: I’m with him… Wear them only when there is no other choice. You sound a little like Rebecca… She says “You have no problem with me buying clothes for myself, but I can’t get you to buy new clothes!” I told her that she knows my sizes, and it is usually easier for her to just buy them than to get me to go. Suits need to be fitted, though, so I guess that’s a problem.

John my husband is a nuclear reactor engineer and he works in fuels and make negotiations with GE and Westinghouse…and hates coats and ties…he only wore once during our wedding-when he had his 6 pack abs… after 16 years of marital bliss, and according to him “my Filipino wife’s cooking”, he gained a lot of weight and does not fit to his 16 year old coat and tie…but he will not buy a new one. he prefers his denim pants and long sleeve cotton shirts (on winter time) and short sleeves (summertime). What can I do? I love my shoes (he calls me Imdelda Marcos) and purses but I could not buy him new coat and tie.

Paul: Garrotting is not that far from it… add in 35 degrees and 95% humidity, and at least garrotting appears more welcoming, since at least it is quick.

Hi John – I’m with you on jacket & tie, or anything near or around my neck! Too many years of such stuff (dress uniforms in the military to include “choker” whites; suit & tie as a CPA working with bank clients, etc.) have put me right off of going anywhere or doing anything that requires such self-strangulation. I can’t help but remember old pictures of garroting in the Philippines (old capital punishment).
