As I’m continuing my reorganization of The Tie Room—including completing an extensive neckwear Census 2020—it occurs to me to introduce you to my “emergency” Tie/Bow Tie o’ the Day. I refer to them as my “in case” neckwear. I made them by simply covering two brave volunteers in reflective tape. These two live together in their own speshul briefcase, separated from any other neckwear hooligans. They are my frontline Tie/Bow Tie , for when I am going to be in dangerous situations and must be visible. So far, dangerous situations have amounted to the few times when I’ve been walking or biking in the dark. Neither of those things ordinarily happen. But just in case, these two stand ever-ready in their briefcase. Get it? 😜
FYI I feel like James Bond when I carry the tiny, ready-for-perilous-emergency briefcase.
