Hey Worried Man, I think we better return that Paisley button down and matching scarf you made me buy Armchaired for his birthday!

No. If he knows what's good for him, he'll wear it... and LIKE IT!

You guys and all your tootals. I feel like I just walked into Lord Kitchener's Valet, circa 1967.

I agree. Also, wearing one of those in the States could elicit jeers from passersby. Not that that would stop me from wearing one.

Re: Ivy League style for today
Yeah the bloody Mod thing again.
I do think i am a bit of an oddity for a UK ivy fan.
I wasn't a mod (couldn't stand the haircuts), i am not the biggest jazz fan.
Even though i did at one point work for the Arts council ,i am not really into Art or architecture.
Modernism just fly's completely over my head.
I am the Ivy philistine !

Re: Ivy League style for today
Although the paisley is rather subdued. I hope I didn't build it up too much for Tommy. It's not really very offensive (unfortunately).

Re: Ivy League style for today
Tootal are very much a British thing - Lancashire company, I think. Very popular in the 50's and 60's. They also made ties and cravats. They're the sort of thing I could see being stocked in the States as an British import piece back in the Boom Years - but they probably weren't if you don't see them about in vintage places.
Just found this on BespokeMe:
"Tootal is one of England’s oldest brands, having originally been founded in Manchester by textile merchant Robert Gardner in 1799. The Tootal family become involved in the business in 1842 and, after several name changes, in 1888 settled on, and registered, the name Tootal Broadhurst Lee Co Ltd.
The company’s distinctive paisley and polka-dot scarves, for which they became renowned, proved popular accessories from the 1920s to the 1950s, particularly amongst the working class. They became a key fashion accessory during World War II, becoming forever associated with the “RAF” look. As a result of this look, the scarves enjoyed a revival in the 60s when they were adopted by the Mod fraternity, for whom it remains an iconic fashion label."

Yep, no complaints on my Harley shetlands. Am living in them at the moment due to the cold weather.
