Generally speaking I don't enjoy wearing ties, but I mean for me the idea of wearing something that has a signifiacne or an inherent pride ont in it, basically trumps that idea.

As always, if you feel good in or about what you're wearing, that's the way to be! Now of course, I am not big on wearing things I have no lineage to.... for instance wearing a Marine Corps tie when I could never have been in the Marines you know?
