I actually have another option in the form of a craft (hand) knitter in Painswick, Gloucestershire.
Real Trad wool from the Shetlands knitted to old Trad patterns by hand in an old Trad cottage by the old Trad church...
I still like Shaggies & Andover's though... Old habits & all that.
This would appear to be the source for the shetlands I discovered in a discount clothing shop in London.

Judge Ito ol sport,
If your Pop is a casual bloke from the 1980s,, why don't you purchase him the quintessential 1980's casual shirt -- Lacoste. Perchance not an accessory but sure to warm his trad heart as he pops his collar with reckless abandon. Kelly green is a wonderful option.
Cheers,
Trip
Only another idle thought...
I see shirts & ties as accessories somehow.
Cultural?
Or am I alone on this?
