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

[Eddie Derbyshire]

Hey they're lovely Esteban. Especially the Polkadot one, but the other is great too. I'd love to have a Polkadot Tootal cravat but they always seem to go for premium prices (for the obvious reasons). Good finds!

Esteban: I have always assumed that the open neckband was on early cravats but had never considered whether it was an austerity thing to save thread. However, if ou wanted to same fabric, it would actually make sense just to have a narrower neckband altogether. The open neckband is still wider than the pleated ones.

I've never pulled one apart TT but I figured you could nest the pieces easier, either way they use the same label I guess a dated illustration would be the only Concrete proof either way....I do like the in pleated ones best it has to be said!

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

I'd say the unpleated are more comfortable imo

A nice scarf that came from Australia. I didn't notice until i bought it that actually they're horseshoes on the pattern, mixed with Paisley. I really love the colours though.

 

[esteban68]

mini paisleys and big paisleys and little iron crosses and or Maltese crosses and horseshoes, it's got the lot!

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

Haha oh Yeh! I hadn't even noticed all that!

It could be four leaf clovers to go with the lucky horseshoes?

The scarf that's got it all! It's got so much you need to give it to me!!!!!!

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

Haha I thought you might like it. It hadn't occurred to me that it was going for a lucky motif. Even better!

No doubt the colour combination is great and seem to be comfortable one too

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

You're right fiftyforfifty - I think red and green work well together.

Some new additions:
Three Tootal scarves. My favourite has to be the blue one! A cracking Paisley.



That last one has had the fringe cut off at some point, and for some reason the label is sewn on at an angle. I assume someone was a little bit squiffy when they sewed it in the factory!

I had to get this cravat to compliment the dressing-gown TT sold me. I know there's a rule about double-denim, but double Tootal?...




Thanks!

My kids told me double denim is coming back ... so double Tootal is the way to go! That looks great!

P.S. that yellow paisley is the most common of all styles. An absolute classic. But the blue paisley is the pick of the bunch!

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

Thanks TT! I'm thrilled that I've found two matching items. Now I'll be on the hunt for more, and the whole cycle starts again...

Perverse to say, but I can't wait for a bit of cool weather, so I can unleash my scarves.

A poor Tootal scarf (I assume) cruelly stripped of its label.


I really like this one.

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

Another really nice Tootal. It also fits into my love of all-things-grey. A very light grey, with an almost bluish tinge.

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

The label unfortunately damaged.
