FAQ

What will you do with Neck of State if we ever elect a female president?

It is our hope that the United States will someday see a female president.  Neck of State is happy to chronicle all presidential neck wear, including, but not limited to, neck ties, bow ties, necklaces, scarves, band collars, chokers, and leis, without regard to the gender of the person wearing them.

What if a nudist was elected?

Sometimes what someone doesn’t wear can be just as telling as what they do wear.

It seems as though President Obama wears a wider variety of ties than George W. Bush wore (mostly just solid red and blue), and maybe even than Bill Clinton wore. Is that true?

Neck of State does not have access to comprehensive neck wear data for presidents before Barack Obama. Anecdotal evidence does suggest that President Obama wears a wider variety of ties, but often ties have subtle patters that are hard to discern from low-resolution photographs.

What about the neck wear of other members of the Obama administration?

Neck of State is devoted to cataloging the neck wear of the Commander-in-Chief, but sometimes his colleagues’ neck wear choices do stick out.  If you see a neck tie you think should be posted on Neck of State, please email it to head at this domain dot com.

What tie knots does Obama prefer?

During the 2008 Presidential campaign, Newsweek reported that Obama used the four-in-hand knot more often than others, and Neck of State believes that he has continued to favor this knot since taking office.  The four in hand is easier to tie than the full- or half- windsor, and thus the most appropriate tie for a President focused on drastic change in Washington now, rather than fussing with his neck wear in the morning.

Where does President Obama purchase his neck ties?

Unfortunately we do not know where the President purchases his ties. Neck of State is committed to providing accurate information about the President’s neck ties, and we will not report information about where he makes his purchases unless it comes from a well-connected, reliable source.

You said that that the President wore a “new” neck tie on [date], but I saw him wearing that tie last year on [previous date]. Did you miss it?

Neck of State only catalogs Presidential neck wear. If you saw then Senator Obama wearing a neck tie before he was sworn into office, then it was, by definition, not Presidential neck wear. Otherwise, if you have evidence that one of our tie identifications is not accurate, please let us know at head at this domain dot com.

  1. What if a nudist was elected?

  2. It seems as though Obama wears a wider variety of ties than George W Bush wore (mostly just solid red and blue), and maybe even than Bill Clinton wore.

    Is that true?

  3. What tie knots does Obama prefer? Is he a full windsor man, or does he lean toward a 4 in hand? Does his tie knot reflect the spread of his collar?

  4. What do you think of the White House Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs’extraordinary array of pink ties? To your knowledge has such a display of sexy pastels ever graced White House?

  5. Nads, Ryan, and Libby, please find our responses above in the FAQ.

    Ms. Muse, this is an excellent point. Secretary Gibbs does have a striking collection of neck ties. To our knowledge, sexy pastels are quite uncommon in the White House, and we’ll have to keep tabs on how Gibbs’ statement holds up in the Obama administration.

  6. So where does Mr. Obama buy his ties? Some are quite nice . . . .

  7. Does anyone know the brand of his ties? especially the red one that he wore this past week? the red with the white stripped? my boyfriend loves it!

  8. I dont know but I REALLY want the red tie with white stripes, and the blue tie with white stripes. Does ANYONE know where I can get these ties????

  9. Randy, Jill, and Luke,

    Unfortunately we do not know where the President purchases his neck ties, but we’re looking into it and we’ll post that information as long as it comes from a reliable source.

  10. Could you post a running count of how many different ties he’s worn somewhere? And you might be able to contact Obama’s press secretary for information on where he purchases ties.

  11. The first one’s more of a suggestion than question… Your calendar’s falling behind! Is there a way you can automate it?

    Have you ever caught images of Obama wearing two different ties in one day?

    What if Obama is in a different time zone, so that the date the photo was taken is different from the date in your time zone? Which day will it count as?

  12. @ zandperl

    Great questions.

    We’re looking into a smoother way to update the calendars regularly. Keep in mind that it will almost always be at least a day out of date while we collect data for current neck wear events.

    Obama has worn two ties in one day on a couple occasions. For an example, check out February 24th on the Tie Calendar.

    Neck of State uses the local date for all neck wear reporting. However, as of this writing, President Obama has not left North America, so it hasn’t been an issue thus far.

  13. What we here in Germany would be interested in:
    Where does he buy his neckties ?

  14. @Jill, @Luke,

    Any luck on finding the red tie with the white stripes?

    Thanks!

  15. Hi all,

    As many other people, I’m looking to find out the Tie Obama wore at the election night rally in Chicago on November 4th 2008 when he was just elected.
    It was red with white stripes.

    In the hope someone could help me to find this Tie.
    I would absolutely find and buy it.

    Thanks in advance.

    Best regards,
    Hubert RIMLINGER

  20. Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
