Jack I got it at my Hector Russell, and have since picked up another, I am not sure if I will wear it or the black bow tie for Burns Night, I put it on for these photos as it was during the day and I wanted to bring down the level of formality as it was before 6:00pm.

Oh, that's not one of those silk formal long ties, like I thought.. Lately, I've noticed that the old black bow tie has been getting replaced more and more by long shiny silk ties in black, white or other colors. My nephew wore such at his wedding with his tux.

McMurdo, any chance of you posting a pic of the back seam of the hose while you are wearing them? I am curious about how the seam looks.
Thanks

Now that you mention it: look at the 3rd picture, left stocking; one can see the back, a bit. It begins to look like Mrs. D has tapered the size of the diamonds to match the leg taper. Is that standard procedure?

I have not read up on techniques for Agyll or diced hose... I'm a novice, working on a practice sock. It's fun, but I suspect eventually it will make me appreciate buying from a real artisan.
