Can you tie a tie?

[Finn]

Not really

 

[trekkiedane]

I know two knots but not their names; one is a 'single knot' that looks great with the slim ties we wore in the eighties and the other is a 'double knot' type that looks ok on the wider ones that since then came back (Hope we never get a repeat of the seventies!!!)

I've never learned how to tie a bow tie though, so every time I'm in a tux I wear a strap-on

 

[Rii]

Yeah, but I only know one knot and have no idea what it's called.

 

[Scout101]

Rarely wear them, but yes, can tie them quite well. Never attempted a bow tie, though. Thankfully, those usually just come pre-tied

 

[Turbo]

Yes, I can. Thank god I almost never need to, though.

Ties are the symbol of the oppression of man!

 

[Alidar Jarok]

I had to wear a tie for work, plus I wear a suit usually several times a year. So, while not great, I'm pretty good at tying a tie.

My friend flat out can't tie one. I had to tie it for him. Then he loosened it and hung it up, so all he had to do was tighten it in the future.

Girls with ties are awesome.

Even better when it's only thing they are wearing. Oh, the memories...

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

I wear 'em to weddings and funerals.

I can tie a necktie but have never tied a bowtie. I'm no more inclined to wear a clip-on than to wear a pocket protector or spats.

 

[TheLonelySquire]

I wear one for some meetings, but the industry I am in has really relaed to the point that it's not always necessary. But yeah, I can tie one

 

[backstept]

the only knot I know is the Pratt aka Shelby knot

 

[SmoothieX]

I can tie one, but I rarely wear a tie, so sometimes it takes a second time to get the length right and the knot looking good.

Unless its a job interview or a wedding, I have no use for a tie. All hail business casual!

 

[Philo]

Bah, damn nerds! I think if most of you had your way, all you would ever wear would be a black t-shirt and whatever pants you found on the ground first.

So will we be seeing you on the next 'men ~ burn your ties' rally?

Well, I for one welcome our old sartorial overlords.

 

[Vulcan Princess]

I know how to tie a tie, but I've only rarely worn one that needs tying. When I was in the ROTC, we had these horrid velcro "tie-tabs". The men got to wear real ties, but we ended up looking like flight attendants. I helped so many of the guys tie their ties.

 

[Squiggy]

Yes. I prefer a full Windsor knot.

Believe it or not, I have yet to meet a female who didn't know how to tie a tie. I can't say the same thing about guys. I know more often than not I need to enlist the help of my girlfriend to get my tie squared away

 

[John Clark]

I tend to wear one four days a week (Fridays are semi casual) so I'm pretty used to it by now

Oh yes, definitely.
