I love wearing either a tie bar or a collar pin with my ties. But strangely enough, and for reasons I cannot quite articulate, I have never felt comfortable wearing these accessories at the same time. I suppose it is because they serve different purposes. The collar pin produces an arc at the tie knot while the tie bar helps to keep the tie firmly in place. But practicality has never been the raison d'etre for style. Perhaps it is because men are not supposed to wear too much "jewelry." Whatever the reason, I still am looking for my first real encounter with someone who is wearing both.
