[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do new C formers handle their ties? Do kids wear the pre-tied clip on kind or is that just not a thing? Do people teach their kid how to tie a tie before school starts in case it comes undone during the day? Also, do any parents of older kids have suggestions on what you've found to be the most comfortable shirts and pants to buy that will hold up to the abuse that the boys put them through (we know about the exchange shop)?

Welcome!  Some wear clip ons, some learn how to tie a tie, some have parents tie their tie, and quite a few wear turtlenecks the minute there is a chill well into warm spring.  As for clothes, we buy Landsend, great sales. [/quote]

Your son needs to learn how to tie a tie from Day 1.  YouTube can help if no one in the household can.  Second Lands End.  But really the best clothes are available at the STA Exchange.  It is a bit jarring to see Armani and Polo and Brooks and Press ties for $5, and you can easily score blazers for $20.  [/quote]

Most kids don't shop at the student exchange. That is not accurate to say they do. [/quote]

Correct   I don't know anyone who does and the one time I went the pickings for decent stuff was vey slim.  Most STA boys would never wear used clothing, it is an exceedingly wealthy school especially in many of the younger grades.  [/quote]
