Just a wee clarification. When we talk about "Old School Ties" we are not talking about the tie that was worn to school for the time actually at school. The "Old School Tie" is usually a completely separate colour scheme altogether.
The College(now a University) that I attended, The Royal Agricultural College(RAC) and as far as I am aware we did not have, thank goodness, an everyday college tie. But I still wear my "old Boys" College tie( and a few others picked up along the way) fairly regularly, although, I note with some disappointment, that the newer RAC ties have the same colours but in different shades.The tie, any tie of that type, does act as a conversation starter when in the company of others. Does that make difference? Well yes it certainly can do, when meeting strangers .
