[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are clip on ties okay?[/quote]

Yep![/quote]

Are you kidding me?  Maybe if your dad is an engineer.  And come to think of it I'm not sure if there are any engineer dads in the school right now.  That's one of the first manly skills your C former should be mastering.[/quote]

Somebody is being nasty.

I have seen plenty of clip-on ties over the years.  Regular neckties can be better in some ways because they stay on better during playtime (until you've seen scads of necktie clad 10 year olds running around playing/soccer/touch football/frisbee/random-made-up-running-shouting-game you haven't really lived).  He'll be able to learn to tie a necktie or can slip a pre-tied one over his head too, of course.  By upper school, some of the more adventurous even learn to tie bowties!  But clip-ons are definitely note unheard-of.

Also, good tip: the Student Exchange has great deals on used blazers, neckties.  Can be great to stock up on a modestly-priced spare or two.

Good luck![/quote]
