I've heard that those rubber linings have degraded over time and have turned toxic? I turned down a lovely light tweed mac because the rubber lining was dropping to bits and had a nasty fragrance.- Eddie Derbyshire

True that. I never wear club or regimental ties - but I must admit I collect them if they're about. My grandfather once wore one he picked up by accident and got challenged on the street! He never realised it was regimental tie!- Eddie Derbyshire

Any love for this 1960s tie with a drinking motif? A good one to wear to the pub! When you get too intoxicated you can just point to the next drink you want on the tie.- Eddie Derbyshire

Tootal - The Company History and its products (ties, scarves etc)
I came across this really odd cravat today while having a lunch-time browse around a junk/vintage shop. A 'Tootal Ascot', which is basically a cravat without having to tie it. At first I thought someone had modified a normal cravat, but on seeing the label, inspecting the stitching, and that the...- Eddie Derbyshire

I didn't know that about satin! Interesting. Yes Milium is relatively common in winter suits and overcoats really. For me the label just adds a bit of colour to the inside of your suit as far as I'm concerned. There is no obvious structure underneath the lining as I say (ie it isn't like a...- Eddie Derbyshire

TT - I wonder if the 'lightweight' could refer to them being less bulky, because I agree - that suit is damned heavy! Esteban68 - that suit sounds good. Go for it! Rabbit - I don't know much about Milium at all. It isn't obvious what it is from looking at the exterior. Esteban68 perhaps you...- Eddie Derbyshire

Oh I kept well away from spitting grease and drippy sauces! And with regards the Milium - my friends were all whining about how cold they were while I stood toasty in my metal-insulated suit. .- Eddie Derbyshire

Hello folks! This is my late 1950s 3-piece John Collier suit, with Milium lining. At least, I think it's 1950s - the style would suggest so, with 11" bottoms on the trousers, high-rise and a risen-up rear (I assume at one point with a split-seam waistband, but it has been adjusted before I got...- Eddie Derbyshire

Hello all! Off to a BBQ at my friends for his sister's birthday. Wore my 3-piece 1950s John Collier suit, Milium lined. Tootal tie on a William Hunt shirt. Thanks for looking!- Eddie Derbyshire

Thanks! Yes I'm being optimistic and calling it 1930s. Looking the details (neat shoulders, high button-stance etc.) I'd say it isn't typical of anything later. But then again, companies would keep older styles in for some time after they weren't 'on-peak' for fashion.- Eddie Derbyshire
