Well, youre correct but alas, i do not possess the luxury to fork out a large sum for silk ties nor do i wish to do so even if i have the luxury. You see, im a Muslim and silks arent allowed for Muslim mens. Hence im left with the option of polyester ties. But yes, my latest haul is some cheap ties, rm5 a pair infact. (im really impressed with your eyes!)

Anyhow, im not blessed with such an opportunity to not wear one, unlike you. Im a student and its a requirement to wear one especially when theres an event or when were entering the court. Its the same with how you despise black suits. You despise them, but its essential for us to wear. Dark grey just isnt sufficient for us, it must be black or the His Excellency will give out remarks such as "I cant hear you!" or something along the line. Such a remark will only mean one thing, our attire is not suitable for courtroom appearance and he refuses to hear what we have to say. And I believe someone mentioned he read from Wikipedia that for courtroom attire, a black suit jacket should be worn with a grey trousers or something. That, perhaps, only apply to countries outside of Malaysia and not here. Here, its a pair of black suit top to bottom with a black tie and a black robe as a matter of fact (exception to the robe is in moot courts).

So back to my haul. Its cheap, its polyester but i (who has less sartorial sense then you), like it and im not displeased at all that you dislike it or think that its a sacrament. I do appreciate your input on how you portray yourself with a tie however. Ill be sure to take a leaf out of your book if i ever happen to change profession or course. For now, with cheap ties, i must be (talks in Yoda's voice).

P.S: im cheap. 0:)

care to enlighten me on the other options?

no, im pretty sure i dont pay attention in class. But so far as i can recall, we call the judge 'Your Excellency'... or am i wrong? do correct me if im wrong.
