Is there a dealer some place selling Duke of Windsor neckties with all the proper provenance?<br /><br />On the subject of somking jackets I confess. I own one. Bought it in the early 90's my local store was giving them away. I bought one in black wool with the appropiate piping and frog closures. Ben Silver carried the same model about the same time. I do not know if it was a good or bad thing to have passed on the claret and the racing green one. I would buy a vintage Sulka in a heartbeat if it was in my price range.C.Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12620060448545274913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-77950480880448863482009-11-11T19:34:39.066-05:002009-11-11T19:34:39.066-05:00CRINGE!

A black bow tie instead of an ascot is a good starting point. I'll put up some stuff next week. There is a reason men wear this while entertaining at home...it could get you a serious ass whoopin on the street.<br /><br />HTJ- Geez, I pegged you for having at least two copies. <br /><br />In some ways these people are as full of shit as a RL ad.
