Why practice V1 cuts, is it something that you believe there is a legitimate risk of happening?

There is a very legitimate risk of an engine failure so its best to practice them using a worst case scenario (v1)

There is also a risk that someone could try to control you by grabbing your tie, hence why some choose to wear a clip on. I don't, but I can understand why some do.

Zipper ties are like girlfriends, when one starts to sag and covered with stains, time to buy a new one, they're cheap enough :D

I hated those ties also until I borrowed one from a friend and I haven't looked back, I'm horrible at tying ties, so it works for me. Our ties are black and have a logo, but I might just stick to the plain black tie that I already have.

What about wings being embroided? Does no one do that?

Classy ! On so many levels.

I personally like the zipper ties made by A Cut Above Uniforms. They have a locking tab underneath that prevents them from slipping down.
