    I'm with Todd on this one.

    Another option is to use a decorative pin as a tie tac

    Excellent idea, Jamie.

    How about starting a new thread with a "Show us your tie tacs !"

    Should be interesting to discover the creativity of our Xmarkers in this matter.


    Best,

    Robert,

    I would enjoy that but I normally use tie bars/clamp to help shorten the length of the tie to make them work better with the high rise of the kilt.

    I do have a California Quail lapel pin I do use with some of my shorter ties that I am quite fond of.

    Cheers

    I've never seen a two and a half inch diameter tie tack before. Or one inch. All of the pins I have from the Long's Peak Highland games are between 1 and 2.5 inches so a little large for that. I like Todd's idea of the Riker mount to display them. I'll have to make a nice box for that.
