Pin It Up or Clip It Down
Sart Inc has been a supporter of Fine and Dandy for a while now as it's not only run by a great bunch of guys, but is one of the best places to get awesome (and awesomely cheap) accessories for the modern gentleman. Whether you need yourself a new ascot or bow tie, F&D should have you covered for about the cost of a couple lunches. I just checked out their shop after a little hiatus and was real happy to see affordable options for two of the most necessary accessories you should own. Right now Fine and Dandy is selling a $15 collar pin and a $25 short tie bar - that right there folks is what we call a deal. Both of these badboys are real easy to work into your current wardrobe, if you haven't already, and are some of the only acceptable pieces of "man jewelry" (that list is really short, by the way, if you happen to not be named Crangi). For those of you who are on that slim tie tip (most knits, The Hill-Side, The Windmill Club, etc.) you most definitely want to invest in a shorter tie bar/clip because a tie bar that is wider than your tie is not a good look.

Safety pin yo. They're like, maybe a penny. On the other hand, then people will know that you're a cheap mofo... Not that that's a bad thing.
ReplyDeletethat collar pin is mine
ReplyDeleteI've been known to use handsome office supplies as jewelry, these are up my alley.
ReplyDeleteThat is not a tie bar, it is a tie clip, big difference.
ReplyDeleteAnon @7:00- Right, hence the word "clip" in the title. The Tie Bar calls it a "tie bar" so I kept their copy in tact for my post. As fas as I know, all tie clips are tie bars, but not all tie bars are tie clips. Meaning, the term "tie bar" is usually used to describe both models of the slide AND clip variety.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this. I barely leave the house without my tie clip these days. I've been looking for a short one and this will be just the thing. Plus they ship to Australia! Joy!

I love the nice collar pins, but tend to use safety pins as well. I think they're a tad less of an affectation, and also pretty cheap and replaceable, unlike most of what we wear everyday. Makes is seem more casual too.
