Thanks, gentlemen and ladies. I'd take a bow, but I'll leave that to Steve as he's much more dignified looking than I am!

Now I'll go order one!

Diagonally-striped ties (regimental, school, club, generic) are back in fashion in the U.S., which I am happy to see so that I can wear them with my business suits as well. I've always loved them, regardless. At a minimum, I tend to buy in twos, so I got this tie and another striped in brown, tan, and light blue.

They were never out of style among some!

Welcome back to the fold...

True, in the sense that such ties are a classic and never go out of style. But, among those that only wear the latest trends, the striped tie is back.

Where'd I go?

I ordered my tie when it was announced on the 24th, but have yet not received it nor any of the other bits of kit I'm awaiting since that time. I'm betting some bean counter (nothing against bean counters, I have friends who are bean counters) somewhere is being made to justify her/his position by meticulously calculating duties (love that new Harmonised Sales Tax) on everything.

I was hoping to have it for our gathering in Victoria this weekend, but I doubt that will happen at this point.

And here I thought Harmonised Sales Tax only applied to Singing Telegrams.

Sorry... OK, not sorry LOL

Am sorry to hear that you don't expect to have your tie and other jones-items in time for the kilt night. Say hi to Alex for those of us who can't make it at all!
