Rabbi Paysach Krohn Shlita explicitely talked about this issue in one speech and urged the Olam to wear a tie at Shabbos Mincha as taking it off is disgracing the Kavod Shabbos. Plain and simple -no reason to “Dray a Kup” with any ridiculous Sevora to take off ties. In the Telzer Yeshiva, we all wore our ties for Shabbos Mincha and if we did not, we would certainly have been disciplined. Of all the Gedolim I have been Zoche to see, not one would come to Shul any time, least of all on Shabbos, without a tie. Those who would disgrace the Shabbos by such a causal attitude should be ashamed of themselves – it is in my opinion – to be like the Goyim around us who have turned casualness into a “style”. That Charedi people should copy this in even the slightest way on Shabbos is a disgrace. In the Breuer’s Shul, the Gabbai gave me on a tie to put on for an Aliyah on weekdays; who could imagine even walking into Shul without a tie on Shabbos!
