And Ian Fleming in a daytime bow tie:

Of Cravats and Daytime Bow Ties
Some people think that there is something faintly ridiculous about cravats [US:'Ascots'] and daytime bow ties; maybe, they think that they are dated or clownish. I would agree that they can strike a discordant note but that is often down to the way in which they are worn, rather than anything else. Here are a couple of examples of these items being worn well. First, the actor Leslie Philips in a cravat:

I'm wearing a cravat as I type. Hopefully chanelling the spirit of Leslie Philips...
ReplyDeleteBPP - excellent. David Saxby carries an excellent line of cravats and I wish that I had a few more for the few chillier days out here.
ReplyDeleteI know of Mr Saxby, but unfortunately don't currently have the wherewithal to afford his excellent wares. I tend to get my cravats from Tom Sawyer (not the Mark Twain character, I hasten to add!) - http://www.tomsawyerwaistcoats.co.uk/subprod/day-cravats-self-tie--0001761.aspx.
ReplyDeleteBPP -Thanks for the link. They look very good and they also have a wide selection.
