Tie bar
Encyclopedia : T : TI : TIE : Tie bar
A tie bar (also known as a tie slide or tie clip) is an item of men's clothing.
Usually made of metal, the slide clips the tie to the fold of a shirt, preventing it from swinging and ensuring the tie hangs straight, resulting in a neat, uniform appearance.
Tie slides often have minor decorative patterns. Some tie slides have a small badge indicating club or other affiliation in the same way that ties often have, or some other commemorative token.
Occasionally, tie slides made of leather or chain are seen. A similar device is the tie pins (also known as stickpins or tie tacks). It tacks the tie either directly to the shirt or to a chain which slips through the button hole of the shirt. However, as this method permanently damages the tie, it is more uncommon than a tie slide.
While a tie slide can be considered an , it remains in common use today.
