This is a Calvin Klein tie that cost me 8000 yen. I have another 25-30 at home. Every day
I wear a tie, but I don' feel naked without it I somehow feel naked with one on.

It's a Mitsukoshi Urban Club that I paid 10,000 yen for. I own about 50 others. I only
wear them when working and instead of feeling naked without one I feel dressed.

I paid USD50 for this Polifroni tie. I own lots and lots of them. I put one on only for
work and feel more comfortable without a tie.

Clothes maketh the man,
they say, and nothing quite maketh the clothes like a tie. Most men own so many they're up
to their necks in 'em. But how do they feel about these ties that bind? This week we
ventured into working man's land and asked some knotty questions: do you feel naked
without your tie - or is it just a pain in the neck?
TOMMY/ COMPUTERS
My tie is from Marks and Spencer and I can't remember how much I paid for it. I've got
about 10 others. I don't wear a tie every day, and definitely don't feel naked without
one.

My friend gave me this Jean Paul Gaultier tie. It's one among around 25-30. I do wear a
tie every day but although it's a habit I don't feel naked without one.
