I am rediscovering these now that summer is gradually fading and before switching during the colder days to Brooks cashmere and Press lambswool. I used to have quite a collection of - mostly - Tootal with some Duggie and Sammy. They seem to be getting slightly more difficult to track down in shops, though. I was offered a 1940s rayon example back in June. Some are double-sided. I think they add a slightly jaunty touch. Fading yellow looks nice with grey London Fog, dark green with brown Burberrys'. I think The Beatnik is a fan. Paisley and polka dots are both nice and remind me of Clothesville.
Darn right, Rippy me ould sausage.
Nothing cuts a dash like a snazzy scarf...
Always up for a poncy scarf, me.
Rayon is an odd material for a scarf, as it wears cool. Lovely 'slidiness' and drape on the heavier ones though.
Old acetate and of course silk scarves are always worth lookin out for.
Yep, I'm a scarf addict. Usually lucky charity shop finds.

Bit of a bump for this old thread, that saw scant interest at the time.
Still doesn't really answer Robbie's question, though.
Staceyboy once gave me a very nice old Alan Paine scarf which I still wear on autumn days.
Oh, and silk was mentioned by Moose. Not sure I've ever owned a pure silk scarf.
