Clip-on tie

Reasons for use

• Tightly tied standard neckties may be a source of irritation and discomfort.
• Some people, particularly children, do not know how to tie a standard necktie, or do not feel comfortable tying one.
• Some persons with disabilities may be physically incapable of tying a tie, or only capable of it with extreme difficulty.
• Police officers and security guards often wear clip-ons as a precaution against being strangled by a pulled necktie.
• Some schools require clip-on ties as part of their uniform instead of regular ties as this keeps students from loosening them in hot weather.
• A clip-on tie can be put on more quickly than a conventional necktie.
• A clip-on tie is used as a safety precaution in a manufacturing setting to avoid neck injury due to machine entanglement.
