I still have my old college scarf Woof, and wear it, as you suggest, when the mercury drops.

I'm a fan of Tootal silk scarves. I recently bought a paisley replica of one I bought back in 1968. I was a bit disappointed that their scarves now appear to be shorter than my original made in England ones.
Peter York was on BBC4 last night, presenting a documentary on Hipsters and he was sporting a decent silk scarf.
When it gets colder I wear Scottish tartan wool scarves. I find they are a versatile option.
I'm not sure I would wear a college scarf anymore because I would feel the need to wear a duffle coat or pea coat and as an old geezer I can't now pull off that look. The other problem is that I feel you can't wear a known college scarf if you didn't attend the college.

I dig and recommend the lambswool/angora scarves from Begg & Co. the most. I've got one in blackwatch tartan and two more in olive and cedar that I wear all the time. They look real dicty with my horsehide too! I think I have some pics from the Italy trip that I'll post when I eventually dump them photos. Anyhoo, college scarves are real tacky, I think. Those lean soft lambs wooly scarves are ultra i.v. (in vogue, arf arf) and they look most hep with anything draped in shetland or oxford; doubly so with any chunky slouchy tweeds: http://www.oconnellsclothing.com/59-Begg-and-Co.-Lambswool-and-Angora-Jura-Scarf-Harvard.html

There's a slate and denim colored cashmere on O'C that would look real nifty with this old Brooks flannel vine that I've got but it's out of my scarfing price range.
