Ah, got you and nice find!

I would've jumped on that for sure had I seen it!

A ha! I seen this one too. It looks like a madras to me, though I don't think it was mentioned in the ad. If it is then I'm guessing it's next to unworn from the contrasts of the colours and the clarity of the white not t mention that very crisp looking label. Excellent work Oliver.

There seem to be a lot of printed Roosters around jut now. Lots of Batik print square end ties on Etsy in general. Not really my cup of tea but I can appreciate them. Nice work Oliver.

A big bump for Bo Jo.

Mwah

The middle one's a beaut.

I like the Rooster ties which have square ends, like a knit tie. I got hold of one in Madras, but it was too wide. So in the end, I bought Madras fabric last year and had a few made, based on the pattern of the Rooster. 

And here is a blatant plug to the sales topic, where I am flogging the last one of the batch. I intended to keep it as a reserve, but I really have enough stuff so that I do not need to keep my garments in double quantities.

I really love it Axe and I'd have it off you if I didn't have a very similar Rooster. A square end madras is fun to wear on a real sunny day/warm evening. Especially one not cut on the bias. Slinks under the preppy radar nicely I think.

Liam/Bop, glad you like it. I like it very much, too. It is more difficult to use the pattern without a bias and I think she did a really a great job there. Originally I intended to have some more made earlier this year for fun. Sort of kinky hobby.  Then so much fuss happened that I let go of the "project". Maybe next year.
