Talk:Clip-on tie

Engineers and children
I have removed engineers from the list of professions that favor clip-ons. I will freely admit I did this based on actually asking engineers, rather than some quoteable source, however I beleive the burden of proof is on those who wish to include it. I've also added mention of the prevelence of the clip-on in children's sizes.

Hi, My name is Dep. Garcia I have created this article from scratch, if you feel there is a word which should be used instead of the existing one, please put your word in. Spelling mistake?? Please correct it for me!! Question?? Ask me at my talk page User talk:Dep. Garcia


 * This should probably be at Clip-on tie, per using singulars and only capitalizing proper nouns in page

titles. --W.marsh 23:29, 27 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Noted, Thanks for telling me, will get around to doing it as soon as i can! Dep. Garcia


 * I think this requires an administrator, with Clip-on tie already in existence, and has a bit of a lag time, so I'm going to put it in the queue. ENeville 15:55, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

"Snapper" ties
I think "Snapper" is a brand name. It's not synonymous with "clip-on" to my knowledge, so it might be best to remove it as an alternate name, unless there's info to the contrary. I do wonder if Snapper popularized clip-ons, which would be an historical element. ENeville 23:54, 1 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I have replyed on ENeville user talk page.
 * Roger that. In pursuit of avoiding advertising on Wikipedia, I've removed "Snapper" pending contrary evidence.  ENeville 18:48, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, We want to stick to wikipedia rules not break them :-)Thank You  Dep. Garcia 10:59, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

The Clip-on tie - when was it designed?
After some extensive research I have found out that the "Clip-on tie" was designed on the 13th December 1928.

Does anyone think this is worth a mention in this article?

Please give me your view on this issue.

 * I think it's worth adding.--Jeff Johnston 21:18, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Tagged, re: need to bring article up to usual Wikipedia referencing standards
Am a bow tie-wearing prof that checked into the tie articles after coming across a curious historical variant (see main tie article, on "pre-tied"). In looking to this article, I noticed many rather firm statements of fact, that lack citation, and so added a tag to prompt referencing to the various statements that appear. Thanks for the earlier work; we must now make it traceable to sources. Cheers. Leprof 7272 (talk) 04:54, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Comment moved from article
INTRODUCTION OF CLIP ON BOW TIES I believe, that the clip on bow tie was first introduced by Cecil L. Fox ,a major manufacturer of military uniforms in London, in 1905-1910.He offered the idea to Austin Lawrence Reed, the founder of Austin Reed retailers. Cecil Fox, later was later to become a major property developer in and around London during the 1950-1970.
