I wrote a followup PM to the next people in the chain. Livingston received his tie from me and posted his pic in this thread. piperdbh is next but neither of them has responded yet as to where things stand...

Of course there is nothing to stop people from buying one of these lovely ties and posting, without being in the chain!

I know a few of you are sitting on the edge your seats for the next installment on this ABF Tie thread and things have dragged a bit of late; so to help things along, I’m slipping out of the queue.

Until of late, I did not know there was another life besides ‘matchy matchy’. So here is that presentation that I’ve been most comfortable with. A white shirt to wear. With one big difference for me! Usually I would have worn solid color hose but have grown fond of full Argyll hose for day wear. I love these monk strap shoes.

So you noticed! Yes, I am a bowtie wearer, so I had the ‘Smart Turnout’ ABF neck tie converted to a bowtie by my friend Jessica of Beau Ties Ltd of Vermont. Well done, Jessica.

Now to be Jocked! Okay the white shirt went! I switched to a tattersall shirt. I put on a converted VMac Harris tweed sport jacket. Switched out the monk straps for proper brogues. Too add, a real pop, as influenced by Acaig, yellow hose! I’ve also gone to wearing ‘matching’ color self tie garters to the hose. I really like the look of that. (Yes, some habits are too hard to break!) Now for a real daring part for me was going belt less. That was a really comfortable change that I will incorporate more and more. Thanks for the lead, JSFMACLJR. And to really compliment you Sandy, I wore the sporran a little low!
