That's why bow ties were invented, old chap.
When is the last time you checked your cycling clothing?

You're supposed to tuck your tie in your shirt when you're working on things. Though if you want that retro 1970s look, you can just wear a sports jacket over a turtleneck shirt.

Yeah, but you can't get "dogs playing pool" or "velvet Elvis" prints with a bow tie.
What's the use of wearing a tie if you can't make the Fashion Police twitch when they see it?
Same.. a range of CRC-fire-sale Merino base layers (short sleeved, long sleeved, long sleeved zip-neck), an old RAB synthetic base layer that's tatty but seemingly indestructable for when I have to wear the rucksack, cheap Regatta walking fleece, cheap Mountain Warehouse walking trousers / 3/4 lengths / zip-offs (with the legs lost
)There's also a range of waterproof gear; most of which is walking-centric.
Most of the above gets used for anything technical (walking, stuff on the rings) and occasionally the merino base layers find their way into daily wear as they're comfy on the skin. really pleased with these - only regret is that I didn't buy more at the time..
The only cycling-specific stuff I have is the SPD shoes, which rarely get worn. Almost pushed myself towards more road-centric stuff at one point, but glad I didn't. Not averse to some more / better quality cycling-specific clothing (considering a Gore jacket and still need some decent waterproof gloves).. but what I have has most bases covered.

I didn't know Borstal had a school tie!
Yes but it does rather identify oneself as old money, rather than the ghastly nouveau riche.
I read that and in my head read "RJC" (R J Chicken) instead of "CRC" - that was a blast from the past!

I wear full finger lycra running gloves even in summer as the windchill from riding even on a sunny day can set my reynauds off

I had a recent clear out of old bibs/tops/socks in a bid to rationalise. Bought a couple of new base layers as they are the item that get's the most 'abuse'.

Surely one's waistcoat would hold one's tie in place
as well as the mother-of-pearl tie pin with the diamond stud
Honestly - dress standards on this forum are slipping terribly in spit of the manly efforts of Accy
