I only wear a tie to marry'em and bury'em.

I wore a jacket and tie when I was in Catholic school, every day. My lovely children didn't suffer that. They ended up bright, successful, professional adults.

I wore a tie to work every day for 43 years.
I wear a tie to church, funerals, and weddings , but have never worn a tie to shoot or hunt.

Harold, you got me. I only did it for 42 years. :)
