FAST FACT • Italian artist Enrico Baj creates works of art out of neckties by dipping them in plastic or gluing them to canvas. He comments, “Ties are a symbol of vanity and ostentation, rather like medals and decorations, although every so often I too am forced to wear one.”

by Janet Spencer The average American businessman spends four hours a year tying his tie. Come along with Tidbits as we find out facts behind the tradition. THE WHYS OF TIES • Wearing bits of cloth around the neck dates back to time immemorial. In the days before laundromats were invented, strips of cloth were worn around the neck because it kept the collar of the shirt from getting dirty. It was far easier to wash a narrow strip of cloth than it was to wash the shirt. Bibs tied around the neck were worn at mealtimes to protect the shirt from spills. In the summer, a wet cloth around the neck kept the body cool. In the winter, it kept the body warm. Men sporting full body armor wore neck cloths to pad their neck from the hard metal. Cloths were worn around the neck to prevent sweat from running down the shirt, or to keep vocal cords warm. Later, strips of cloth tied around the neck became a symbol of class, rank, or station, whether by soldiers or students.
