Many men want something to hold their ties. Standard tie clips are usually very cheap or if they are made in gold, rather costly and tend not to hold well. The tie chains shown are a great alternative. The tie fits into the loop and the bar at the back goes into the button hole and hold the tie back. Personally, we can say that many a tie has averted a dip in the soup due to a tie chain. The samples shown are one to match a gentleman's wedding band, one that matches a regularly worn ring and our favorite, a family coat of arms. Compared to a standard tie bar, these are less costly, safer and we think a whole bunch cooler.
