When it's hot outside I don't wear my Tie doing the walk around. With the yellow high vis jacket covering any uniform insignia nobody knows if you're an Engineer, a Pilot a Loader or a Caterer anyway..............
Tie or any other loose clothing don't belong in the ramp, could get you killed or mamed, not to mention cause serious havoc. I saw a pilot's tie get caught in a belt loader, would have taken their head off if it wasn't a clip on. Also seen hats sucked into pack inlets and blown off by the wind towards taxiing aircraft / engines.

It is not a forgiving environment, leave these items in the cockpit. You'll have plenty of time to wear them in the terminal. I'm pretty sure even ol' Henry would agree. And if he doesn't, fack him, it is your arse.
