So we went to a working hunter clinic yesterday and the judge recommended that we should wear a tie pin (M&M Working hunter). I've been looking online to buy one and an getting confused as to what is correct; should I have a tie bar (that goes through the corners of your collar under your tie and has a chain)or should I have a pin that is straight across and pins to my tie just below the knot / above my jacket neckline? Thank you.  |

You should have a tie that doesn't flap about! A tie pin may be useful but not essential, you don't want it to spear you/ become tangled in the mane should you fall forwards. Some shirts have a facility to tuck the tie in and this may work just as well.

The tie bar will only work if you have pinholes in your collar. I use to use them, but got fed up faffing about with them and the shirts I wear now don't have pinholes. You can get lots of options for different tie pins on ebay. I would think the judge meant the type you wear lower down to stop your tie flapping about. |

make certain it is horizontal and not vertical for safety sake

My daughter always wears a tie pin to fix the tie to the shirt and a collar pin to keep the collar looking neat. Her shirts never have pin holes but I make them using a brad awl pushed through into a cork place mat - works a treat! I bought both pins off Ebay without paying a fortune for either.

A top producer once said at a clinic I was at that he hated them due to the damage they could do in the event of a fall.
Why ban body piercing (inc ear studs with some societies) and then allow tie pins?!?

Sorry, not really being facetious - it is a serious consideration. I may have a rethink now. |

The ball end ones screw in so technically should not come undone.

I use a ball end collar pin which screws in and my tie pin goes into a closed end clasp with a catch so it can't pierce the shirt or skin or come undone. Have to say I do hate to see people without a tie and collar pin, think it's looks awful imo!

I use a plaiting or darning needle and find the 3rd stitch up on the Point Length, pierce there and match up with the other side. Wriggle the needle around a bit to make the hole bigger, then swap the needle for the collar pin.
