Metal Pins & Tie Bars
Metal Pins & Tie Bars
Tie bars, tie tacs and lapel pins finish a dress uniform and show service and pride. This category includes enameled tie bars with fire axe, handcuff and badge designs, deputy sheriff and police badge tie tacs, state seal tie bars, EMS and EMT lapel pins, Thin Blue Line and Thin Red Line flag pins, a U.S. flag lapel pin and ASP certification bars.
How to choose
- Tie bar or tie tac: A tie bar clips across the tie and shirt placket; a tie tac pierces the tie and fastens with a clutch back. Many tie tacs add a chain and bar for extra hold.
- Size: Many tie bars here are 2 x 5/16 inch, a common uniform width. Lapel pins range from under 1 inch to about 1-1/2 inches.
- Finish: Match the metal tone to your badge and brass, and check your agency's dress code for approved insignia.
- Backing: Clutch-back pins are quick to put on; double-clutch backs help keep a pin from spinning.
