Show us your Tack !

[Ancienne Alliance]

Do you wear neckties with your kilt ?

If so, perhaps do you like to hold it in place, shorten it or simply decorate it with a tie tack, a tie bar, tie clamp or a lapel pin… or nothing at all !

Thank you for sharing your choices.


With my RCAF kilt, I use this RCAF Club Tie pin.






Best,

Robert

Robert,

As I mentioned to you on the other thread I mainly use tie bars to double and hold the extra length of the tie (being that traditional kilts have a much higher rise than modern trousers)

I do have several tie tacks from various jobs or had been gifted

The only tie tack I wear is this one (I believe it was originally meant as a lapel pin)




It is an image of the California Quail

They are California's state bird, they happen to be my favorite bird, and when I go walking in the Los Gatos foothills near my house I often come across groups of them scurrying about with their distinctive "Chi-cago" call.

They are utterly charmingly little birds and I like wearing this little token of being a proud Californian.

Cheers

I was given a tie bar from my Aunt, it was my Uncles, there are matching cuff links. I've not worn the tie bar as yet though I do wear the cuff links quite often here it is. I've added it to his Royal Naval Association tie, against the Royal Naval Association tartan. I was also given the RNA tie however I've not worn it yet either.

In general, I do not wear a tie tac with a silk tie. Then again, I usually don't wear a silk tie with my kilt, except for the band tie.

On the increasingly rare occasions I'm wearing a non-silk long tie (like my dad's old 100% virgin wool tie) with the kilt and need to wear a tie tac, I wear my Eagle Scout tie tac (mid-1980's style, that doesn't say "BSA" on it).

when i bought my amethyst cufflinks a few months back i got one with a matching amethyst tie pin but never got to use it with the tie being black silk i didn't want to pierce the material

so the misses days ago got some magnetic earing's and free with them was this little fake diamond mens earing stud(not very good picture below) Ive since claimed it for my tie and i shall be using that type of magnetic stud from now on and plan to buy other magnetic studs so i can mix and match with any future cufflink purchase

but as for pins/badges its one thing i collect i dont have many perhaps 20-30 small tie pins but its ones ive gather for most of my life from various places

In general I don't ever where a tie holder mainly because of the damage they do to a tie. With a waistcoat I find them unnecessary, on occaision I where a pearl pin on a tie but very rarely.

I never use any tie tack !
