Not many Bolo ties being seen these days, my eight grade shop teacher (1966) always wore one - but he would take it off to demonstrate power tool safety.
“...he would take it off to demonstrate power tool safety.”
When I was in college my bio professor always wore bow ties, I wondered if that was because he was doing lab work.
It actually makes sense.
I like all these things - I just like to see men in something other than jeans and t-shirts.
I watched the Vienna Symphony on New Years on PBS and the conductor had no tie on, just some oddball open collared shirt. It was strange, it looked like the old time shirts men used to wear and then they’d put those stiff collars on, like in the late 1800s. Eh, I wasn’t thrilled with the look, not on New Years Day, on TV! It was all very fancy. Julie Andrews narrated, I loved it. (end tangent here!)
Wearing one of those around a lathe would be like wearing a Ghillie Suit around a woodchipper... Heh.
