Ugly Tie Contest
 

My office Christmas party tomorrow is having an "Ugly Tie" contest.
My entry is this vest I found on eBay for 5 dollars. It's made out of ties and vintage buttons. :-)

I'm particularly taken by the unflattering, and opposing, directions of the "vertical" stripes... very unappealing !

.

That's it, you're wearing just the vest, nothing more? :eek:

And a smile. :-)

Winning. :thumb2:

I regret the passing of Tie Rack
for non-Brits benefit, Tie Rack was a chain of small tie shops based in railway[railroad] underground, metro and bus stations, airports, and similar high footfall transit locations
I often travelled a couple of hours to work only to find that I'd forgotten a tie, so went into Tie Rack and bought the absolute cheapest tie they had, preferably the least appropriate or most revolting they had in stock.
depressingly, and I got some absolute shockers, nobody ever complained about my neckwear - British reserve I guess ;)

Beest has a hideous Christmas tie from the UK. But it no longer plays the music :(

In fact all of his ties are from the UK. not sure if he's ever worn one here in 13 years. Goalie-boy is now required to wear them on days when there are away games, so he's building up his own collection (because Beest's silk ties and pre-game pasta meals do not mix), but he has to choose ties by width rather than style (a buck a piece in the thrift store) because sadly most are as least half as wide as he is. Kinda rambling here, but it is Friday night -no wait, it's Monday, just feels like Friday. :rolleyes:

We should have a Cellar tie. And coat of arms. But it would need to be all hi-tech so the motto could change to be whatever the current cellar tag line is.

coat of arms is a good idea but the tie thing is a bit of a loser I guess.
guys don't wear them and girls wear them just to be ironic.
or sarcastic.
or something.

I will show you mine, if you show me yours.
