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

    I have one boy's tie - but it states 'Long' on it and I've worn it a few times. I've got a pretty scrawny neck (15.5") for my build (42" chest). Just got that shipment in this morning and it has a 'Red Quality' in it which I'm thrilled about - although it does have a bit of mold on it so that...

    Superb suit! Right on spec. I've found it hard to get that lapel length and button positioning right with the suits I've had made. Great to see an original in all its glory!

    Hah I'll keep it in mind. Do you yourself have at least one of each quality? I'm missing a red, blue, grey and special yet. Less common I'd say than the others. There's some floating around on the Bay but a little more than I like to usually pay.

    Ah I see. So there was a transitional period where rayon and terylene were both available? I'll try and get round to photographing them tomorrow Two Types.

    By the way - some lovely items on this post. There's something special about Tootal ties and scarves. A very 'collectable' element to them.

    Yes I am a little surprised to see moth holes in them - but I don't know what else they might be. Or at least, they are not 'wear' marks - too clean around the edges. And yes I've managed to give them a bit of a scrub before and they have held up well - although I wonder if after these 60-80...

    Hello all, Mine is a nice green/brown John Collier suit - three piece and double breasted too! Now I don't know its exact age - but it does seem to have 1950s and previous features - wide spaced jacket buttons with decent lapel, high-waisted trousers with a 20-21" wide leg, turn-ups and a fob...

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

    Hello there - long time lurker here, but just had to get in on the Tootal thread! A few thoughts: Have any of you found one certain standard of Tootal Tie to be less or more resilient? I have three Sports Quality ties and two of those are in poor condition. In fact one has a moth hole - which...
