Why does Fred flinstone wear a tie?

Answer 1

Because he thinks he will be more posher or maybe because the ppl who made his character just thought it up

First off Fred is a hard work blue collar worker who tends to be a loud mouth and often gets into trouble due his "off beat" personality. His character is modeled after the Homemoners Ralph Cramdon which may further explain the addition of the tie as a means of making Fred a bit more credible than a clown-like bumbling fool. As in the Ralph in the Homemooners, Fred Flintstone is a loving father, and husband, a good friend to Braney and generally a really nice guy. It could be to take the rough edges off of him his creators gave him his tradmarke prehistoric fashioned necktie. His tie is always one solid color and has a rough unfinished look which lends itself to his other apparel. I searched Google images and only found one image of Fred without a necktie and always he had a symetrical tie knot, that looks like a Windsor.
