Ties,regimental,university,college, club.

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

For my own alma mater, I have two choices. One is an orange and white stripe and the other is navy with narrow orange stripes and a repeated torch pattern. I also saw one for an Institute of Bankers. Since I am employed by a bank, would that be appropriate?

Unless you are a Member of the Institute of Bankers you shouldn't wear their tie.

Striped ties (called "Rep stripes" unless they represent a specific organization) are widely available in the USA and Canada. School ties are also widely available in the USA and Canada, as are some "military ties" and "club" ties.

But, to prevent anyone on XMTS feeling that they are somehow "left out" or "disenfranchised" when it comes to neck wear, might I suggest an XMTS tie? It should be based on equal width stripes of the lightest and darkest colours of the XMTS tartan, these stripes separated by a narrow (1/3rd the width of the wide stripe) yellow stripe (representing the XMTS plant badge).

So there you have it-- the X MARKS THE SCOT Club Tie!

Now there is a thought!

Ben Silver actually has fairly decent bulk rates when it comes to club ties; my MOLLUS tie cost around $45, and it is worth every penny.

Mind you, I'm not volunteering to coordinate such a project, but I'd certainly buy a tie.

Brilliant idea!
