The Clip on Tie

The clip-on tie is a bow tie or four-in-hand tie which is permanently tied, with a dimple just below the knot, and which is fixed to the front of the shirt collar by a metal clip. Alternately, the tie may have a band around the neck fastened with a hook and eye.

The clip-on tie was reportedly invented on December 13, 1928 in Clinton, Iowa.Rightreading. December. Retrieved on May 20, 2007
