I wear a tie to my volunteer work as an archivist. Striped is the way, and not those narrow little beasties either. A proper, wider tie.

Skinny ties are a thing.

A stupid thing

I like ties. I usually don't wear them, but they still look cool.

Yes, yes, ties are nice.

If they're proper things, and not the scourge that is the skinny tie.

There are people who do well with patterned ties. I am not one of them. I'd wager Janet is, for instance. I should clarify, I don't hate ties in the abstract, I hate wearing them because they don't gel with me in particular very well, and patterned ones are doubly bad on me.

Teachers and related school personnel can typically get away well with patterned ties. My old science teacher and the superintendent of my school pulled it off.

Regular businessmen are another matter. Typically, they only work well if the tie echoes the personality of the tie-wearer.

I'll probably end up getting a bunch of my dad's shirts this coming year. Bowties and tweedery, ho!

I had an English teacher who had every imaginable tie. There were funny ones, sad ones, one with Shakespeare's will written on it, some with witty catchphrase imaginable.

He was a great man.

Speaking of teachers, I had a French teacher a few years back who wore a new tie almost every week. Every one had some kind of fancy pattern or print on it. He wasn't especially great, but he gave me passing marks, so he's alright in my book.

I prefer the bow tie

Apparently Google has a service where you can search for old newspapers.

Headline of the Bluffton Chronicle, July 1, 1914:

Much Beer Confiscated in Raids Made Today

That was more important than the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, reported on the second page.

Cool. You know what would be even cooler? If you could actually read those letters.

You can zoom in to read the articles by clicking on a headline. But if you're saying you can't read old-timey print, I can't help you.

No, just very low resolution.
