ABF Ties

[KFCarter]

John, you got my vote. After all you used what you had available in your closet.

Ditto that... matchy or not, you look sharp.

[weepeskythistle]

OK... ok.... I'm just a matchy kind of bloke.



I tried hard not to but the ABF tie is a natural match for my Lindsay Double Box (Cheers Chrystel)

Aww cummon, I had a tattersall shirt on (although you can't tell in the slightly over exposed pictures), and Navy Hose (No dark blue in the Lindsay)... You don't understand what internal conflict and personal strife I had to struggle though for an ex Army Bloke to put Navy socks on!! but the flashes go so well too and and ...

Verdict?? FAIL!! Too Matchy...

Still think it looks good though, despite the slightly squonk spozz.

By the way. If anyone likes the RBL poppy lapel pin (I have several and wear them all year round) you can get them here at The Poppy Shop for three quid each. Buy a few and save on postage, probably.

Smelling salts, STAT!!! Will wonders ever cease? Matching! MATCHING! I might need my utility gloves for this since it is considered a no-no on here!

Thank you so much mate! You look incredible, even more incredibiler than normal believe it or not! See, matching is a good thing especially for nice and special occassions. I simply love the squonk spozz!

Pardon my ignorance, but what is a squonk spozz?

I think English Bloke looks smashing. His outfit is definitely well coordinated but not TOO matchy... there's still some different shades of the same colour, a tattersall shirt, brown sporran with black shoes.

Besides, he's not a volunteer in the ABF tie chain, so he's under no restrictions

A bit late to the parade, sorry!

Jock and ABF tie off to a formal wedding.




Jock and ABF tie fishing. Er well, actually I am holding the rod for my brother------honest Dear I am!

[English Bloke]

...Pardon my ignorance, but what is a squonk spozz?...

Squonk - Not straight. ie. "That picture is hanging squonk".

Spozz - Sporran. In UK modern street patois, many words are abbreviated using "oz" as an ending eg. Sorry becomes Sozz, Tomorrow becomes Tomoz. Sporran consequently becomes spozz. As you can see, I am nothing if not with-it. Yeah man... in'it!

[English Bloke]

Crackin' pictures Jock. Sartorially splendid Sir.

A little late but worth the wait. Looking good Jock!

[Livingston]

I know I'm slow and late getting this posted but.. for the last month plus I've been helping Joyce while she has been fighting off the after effects of the shingles. I VERY much suggest that those over 55 talk with their Drs about getting the vaccination. Even if you have to pay for it yourself it beats the c#$& out of what shingles ends up costing you out of pocket with insurance.

Here goes. Livingston modern kilt, tattersal shirt, modified Harris Tweed jacket.



I will have the next tie shipping out shortly, just have to get it ordered. I'm keeping this one since it looks great with my kilts but also when I have to dress "correctly" for work.

[CMcG]

Looking very good indeed Mr. Livingston!

And I agree that an ABF tie can go with p@nts, suits, etc too. It's just such a nice piece of neckwear

[Mael Coluim]

Yep, that's the look all right. Rather smart, I say.
