I can’t find any surveyors’ tie pins for sale. We get to meet the mayor next week for National Surveyors Week, and I’m going to buy a khaki tie to match my work shirt so I need a tie pin to complete the ensemble. Can anyone help me?

Search 'etsy compass rose tie pin'.

I've bought a couple of items from there and had good luck with some nice looking compass rose items.

A khaki tie and khaki shirt?  Man, spice it up a little bit.  😆

@gary_g 

How about a bulbous red nose and size 25 shoes to go with that tie?

There's clearly a future in surveyor fashion influencers. Just not sure where.

Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get me.

Seriously, those are fine for the surveyor conference.  But not for meeting the Mayor. Or anybody outside of the profession.

Depends, are you meeting the Mayor at a wedding or at a funeral?

Those are the only places I see a surveyor in a tie.

Thanks to all for the recommendations. Due to the time constraint, I settled on a khaki tie and an American flag tie clip. I’ll be the GQ survey tech of the day.
