    Thanks TT - I hadn't thought of it as being horse and foal. I need to get a cream/white tattersall check waistcoat now to go with it. And sorry to hear you're not having the best weather! It's been glorious up here for the last couple of weeks. I'm sure it won't last long though! jamespowers -...

    30s-40s British Workwear Influenced Style

    Haha true. It's a look that is appealing but I've never been able to pull off. There's a picture of my Grandpa somewhere with his mine working colleagues in the 1940s and it's a very similar look. If I can find it I'll upload it. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

    Hah true. Although summer is here in earnest now! Perhaps already too warm for tweed. Perhaps ;) Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

    Dh66 - Ah that's a good shout. I've got a nice 3 piece grey tweed that it'll go well with. They are a great texture as you say, and are a welcome break from the usual. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

    Thanks dh66! I've been lucky recently. I'm a big fan of that knitted one too. Can't wait to wear it with a nice tall double-round collar. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

    Tootal - The Company History and its products (ties, scarves etc)

    Acquired this little fellow today. I think I've already seen one on this thread somewhere? Tootal 'Green Quality' yellow tie with horse-head motif. Pretty fun, although I have nothing to do with horses, and I paid too much money for it. But I couldn't pass it up when I saw it! It's in pretty...

    Hello Ladies and Gents, jamespowers - Very nice. The one on the right reminds me of a chocolate ice-cream with a waffle cone. Here are some of my more recent finds: Silk unlined 'Sirodair' in brown, silver and red. 'Grenville' - my perfect kind of tie, in my favourite colour. 'Soie' made...

    True! I quite like that look - although he could do with a tie ;) I do miss knitwear in the summer months...

    I'd reckon it's all about what you match it with. It'll have the right look if it's accompanied by the right jacket, hat and tie etc.

    What are you wearing today??

    Thank you LadyBaltimore! I think you're right - you needn't worry too much about colour matching if all the items are nice. It's just something that's been drilled into me by my Granny that you MUST match haha! No brown with blue etc. It's something I can't quite let go of in my head! You look...

    Tootal - The Company History and its products (ties, scarves etc)

    Refusing the scarf was difficult, although it wasn't in the *best* condition - starting to rub away, sort of thing. It was £14. I was also tempted by a gold and silver Paisley, and a Red and Blue Medallion one, at similar prices. It's a place where the Tootals (and most ties and scarves) don't...

    Yeh they were just a little too pricey at the time. Oh well! There might be others next time.

    Tootal - The Company History and its products (ties, scarves etc)

    My latest: A 'Standard Quality', usual label. The colour is much more vibrant than the scanner has picked up, and it has nearly undetectable dark spots in the pattern too. I saw some Tootal scarves the other day and didn't get them - I wish I had now! One was a deep blue angular paisley. They...

    Tootal - The Company History and its products (ties, scarves etc)

    This must be the very latest incarnation of a 'Black Quality'. It seems very much like a woven pattern though, and as far as I know all the rayon ties other than 'Green' were printed...

    Show off the sports coats.

    Super-duper DamianM! I like the tie on there too.

    Starching Detachable Collars

    I've got a turn-down collar that I have NEVER been able to get the starch out of. It's like the ghost of the previous launderer lives on in the damn thing!
