I don't know if this is still true, but I recall clip-on ties used to be made by wrapping an ordiary tie around a piece of plastic with the clips attached. Have you tried taking one apart? Alternatively, if you can't find ties short enough, get the shortest you can and use a full windsor knot. This makes a rather bulky bundle, so try for ties made of light-weight silk. Unfortunately, short ties tend to be of poorer quality for no obvious reason.
