Tie Tack & Tie Stick Pin Guide by Fort Belvedere

About this video

The Gentleman’s Gazette team demonstrates how to properly wear tie pins and tie clips, explaining their decorative purpose and practical application. The speaker covers placement techniques, styling advice for formal occasions like weddings, and care tips to prevent damage to delicate neckties.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team recommends placing tie pins and clips approximately one palm-width above the shirt button, centered on the tie, and securing them through a button loop on the shirt for stability
• The Gazette team advises using tie pins and clips primarily with woven neckties rather than thin printed silk ties, as woven fabrics are more forgiving and hide puncture holes more easily
• The Gazette team suggests using steam rather than pressing to remove small holes left by tie pins, and notes these accessories were popular in the 1950s-1970s but are less common today, making them affordable on vintage marketplaces
