Do you wear a standard tie or clip on? I work at a bank and must dress in a shirt and tie every day. I'm in contact with the public all day long, including some not so nice people (Our branch was robbed about a month ago, two guys jumped the counter and emptied out the cash boxes). I happened to be behind the teller line at that time making copies (I'm usually at my desk), and the perps were withing arms reach at different times.
I've since begun thinking about my ties. I like nice ties and take pride in making sure the knot is just perfect every day. I realize now that they could have easily grabbed the tie and had a hold around my neck that would take quite a fight to get out of.
Does anybody wear a clip on for this reason? Clip ons seem so cheesey to me, but they could definitely be a good thing in a struggle.
I've thought about cutting my ties right where it would sit on the back of my neck then sewing them back together with just enough thread to hold the tie, but would break if grabbed. My shirt collar would hide the stitching and it would create a "break free" design.
Thoughts?
