In Iran ties are viewed as un-Islamic
Barbers' shops in Iran have been ordered not to serve customers who wear ties or bow ties, Iranian press says.
Police say the shops risk closure if they break the rules.
In the early days of the revolution wearing a tie was seen as a symbol of western decadence, but in recent years this has relaxed considerably.
The latest directive is part of a campaign against westernised clothes, which has so far focused on women's headscarves and Islamic covering.
Etemad newspaper reports that the moral police sent a circular round to barbers' shops and hairdressers ordering them not to serve customers with ties or they could be closed temporarily or even lose their licenses
