This doesn't even show the finished knot with a proper CENTERED dimple. FAIL

Not in the mood to search right now but, If I remember correctly, you provided this lesson previously many moons ago. Am I correct Alex?

 

[Okie RP fan]

It's important that people dress nice and look professional, especially at political events and if you are openly supporting RP and the Liberty Movement.

I know some of us RP supporters tend to go the beard and "I dare you to say something about how I look and live" route. Which, there is nothing wrong with.

If I gotta wear a tie to be a libertarian, I quit!

I made a video over a year ago similar to thise, but it was in my old room which many correctly charachterized as a hoarder paradise... see my older videos to understand

Second

I'll wear a suit and make up for the tie with a funny hat.

Sorry I don't wear jackets or ties

I won't be made to do it just to fit in, I won't wear it to my wedding or my funeral.
I won't be a stuffy dressed stuffy headed person that judges others by their dress. I will wear a nice dress shirt, slacks and shoes, but jacket and tie is a step too far.

Too bad. I'd do ANYTHING for liberty, Dr. Paul, etc. I'd consider walking through fire if it would help the cause.

My favorite suit is one my father had made for him in Italy in 1947. I got it altered for me as it is still in near mint condition. It is single breasted with double breasted lapels and is a raised black on black striped gabardine wool, with slits (forget the name)on the tails at both sides. Pants have a single pleat, scoop pockets and a pantleg cuff on stovepipe boot fit. Black silk shirt with Beatles Magickal Mystery Tour tie in deep fall tones with tophats and magic glove of burnt orange, maroon, navy and deep purple on blacks..my insignia.

The attitude which he probably doesn't sport publicly kinda sucks, but there is nothing wrong with his attire. In Atlanta nearly everybody showed up dressed in such a manner.

Quality of the suit does not matter as much as the fit. Buy a suit off the rack you like and take it to have it altered.

You don't need to have only blue shirts, you need a few good white shirts and maybe a blue. Get shirts with French cuffs if you can.

With regards to ties, anything will work. DO NOT wear Garcia ties. Wear bright colors with some simple patterns to really stand out. The pocket square is optional imo.

You don't have to spend too much either. You can get a decent suit a JC Penny for under $200 and a shirt and tie for around $40.

My older son is lucky in that he has a build that makes even cheap WalMart suits look good. He goes to thrift stores and buys suits (sometimes expensive, sometimes not) for $10.

 

[unknown]

Correct, we have to look the part. Perception matters.

I don't really have an attitude publicly, but online words don't project as well, so I guess you could say yes.

However, here many people go to official meetings without a suit and tie, as long as you aren't wearing cut off jeans and a shirt filled with holes you will be ok
It is actually my background and experience that allows me to really 'connect' and then bridge to the new political sense I have now, and I was always 'business casual' and see no need to change that.
Life experience and the way you personally carry yourself is as important as the way you dress, as long as you aren't totally sloppy in dress presentation.

Someone needs to inform Ron

 

[heavenlyboy34]

Hey, I prefer business casual and have been successful so far. (certainly haven't been fired)

 

[notsure]

Do these ties make my electability look big?
