A "string tie" .. . . . must be from Arizona! :-)

Maybe but my dad lived in southeast Colorado and he wore a string tie. Not always string, but sometimes. Think since he had to wear a regular tie for most of his working life he liked the string tie since it was dressy without reminding him of work.

Ha! My first Chief of Police wore a string tie and he was born, raised, and worked in Michigan.

we call e'm bolo ties in the west.
I spent 2 months catching little yellow scorpions and putting them under glass so my buddy could turn them into those type of ties for my BIL's wedding.

String tie...Never heard that term
A rare few of us in MN will wear a Bolo tie, This nice scrimshaw example I picked up at a 'Fair' in AK while visiting my cousins in Aniak.

I made and sold lots of bolo ties back in the 60s. As a gem cutter and rock hound, there was always something interesting to use.

just like the plain white backed ones Art shows.

we done the ends in deer/elk horn tips and I made some dummy bullets with the primer hole drilled out for the ends.
they were all the same but all a little different.

when I think of string tie I think more like wyatt earp wore where they were a simple [floppy] bow tie type but with thin ribbon and long loose ends.
