Yeah I feel very strongly that way about ties. And I know/am sure that some can consider you well dressed without a tie, but try working an office job or government job or some such with a suit but no tie - no go. Ties are mandatory attire for a lot of "high-class" stuff and that is what I meant and that is part of what irks me. I feel like dressing up in suit and tie is to throw away my identity and don "society's costume".

On a P.S. I used to hate jeans, and still barely put up with them. I was cargo pants/shorts or die. But when I got above size 40 back in the day I couldn't really find any that fit. I'm back to 38's but wear jeans because I've become accustomed to them and the fact that they are long-lasting. Denim is very durable. Rips don't come as often as they used to with cargos. I wore my first pair of jeans when I was ... 19.
