We had to wear a collared shirt with a tie. Required and you'd get sent home if you didn't have one. I had a couple skinny leather ones I wore lose ala Ren McCormick in the movie Footloose (Kevin Bacon). The store manager would always tighten it up and as soon as he walked away I'd loosen it back up.

Fast forward 30 some years and my wife and I were invited to an 80's party so I wore one of the leather ties. Everyone was like, wow, where did you find one of those ties?!? They are still on a hangar, tied and ready to to, in my closet. Yeah, rambling, slow day at work...
