I completely forgot to add my tie stuff. I use what I think is the 4-in-hand knot for ties. It's asymmetrical if you don't get it just right, but fast and no untying the darn thing after removing. If it's something on my father's side, I have a Jerry Garcia green frog tie he gave me, he won't wear it or any tie anymore. It's more of a subtle thing because we don't really get along with that side except for a few people. My father turned 55 and said "I'm never wearing a suit or tie, for the rest of my life." Other than that I have some more typical tie styles and a pink bowtie from my buddy's wedding last year. I have yet to attend an event where that would be appropriate...
