£40 a time at JS.  Made me think a bit.  The man himself used to wear a rather nice green number (I assume it was Tootal), which I think I tried to buy (or possibly steal from him when his back was turned).  I guess he must have declined but no matter.  Anyway, like the proverbial bad penny, it keeps turning up.  Beatnik favoured them black.  Now, I'm not claiming they were ten a penny but £40 seems a little steep.  Or am I seriously out of touch?  Then there was John's thread on cleaning them.  Dry-cleaning was not favoured.  I haven't owned one for, oh, a while ago, but I still remember how good that green number looked around JSs handsome neck, throat and shoulders.  I might be tempted.  But not at £40.
