True. I reopened the old thread in "Workwear".

Simon I sent you a PM regarding the £25 price for forum members.
Just one thing, when you choose Gimme Both! you have to choose 2 in the Quantity box which may be confusing because you're just buying 1 of Gimme Both! that includes one of each but you need to introduce 2 in order for that choice to work. I don't know if this is intended. ![]() Alright, I'm in* (for one in Navy & Red; will send PM) Meantime, one question that might be of public interest: If worn as a neckerchief using a keeper in the form of a ring, what approx. size/diameter would be needed? I'm guessing an ordinary scarf keeper with a flat, sheet metal aperture (or worse yet, some type of clip) would be pretty hard on the silk. I would also prefer to use a keeper (vs. knotting it) for the much the same reason. TIA *Update: Order placed.

Actually, I had* a pretty specific idea for this, so I suppose I'll just try it (too — lol)
![]() It might be a bit extravagant, but to me the entire concept is: I haven't worn any kind of necktie for so long, I honestly don't remember it. Now, if the combo doesn't work out, that's quite alright: I absolutely adore (real) tortoise shell, and the SJC neckerchief totally rocks. Cheers! * 'Update': have (on the way...)

Thanks for sharing, that is lovely. I know for thicker necked members this would be very handy to own. What you save in knotting you gain in length. Is it new? I would be nice to offer these.
It was a lucky (albeit rather expensive) Etsy find.
I should have clarified/separated the link: From Etsy: "Victorian Tortoiseshell Chased Band Buckle Ring Antique Jewelry Size 7 - 7 1/4 Antique Jewelry Scarf Slide Mens Womens" https://www.etsy.com/listing/293809895/s...hased-band (*SOLD* — lol) PS: You need to scroll down to see the original listing. ~ ~ ~ I was just 'thinking' (you know, for a change — lol) I don't even know my ring size (!) Better yet, I don't care ![]()
Yes, of course: That would work.
I'm really gonna have to try it: The old neck ain't what it used to be (lol) I should probably give you one more example of this knot business: It took me over 50 years to 'discover' The Granny Knot. You can probably deduce the rest (rofl)

Scarf Ring Update (FYI)
The Etsy seller shipped the ring today and advised me there will another "buckle ring" listed soon. I requested notification when it goes up for sale. I don't know anything else about it at this point, but I will post it here if it looks at all worthwhile.

Hey, Warpath Leather Goods makes some killer neckerchief slides(keepers). I have 2 I use all the time. Perhaps Matt could work up something exclusive to SJC?

Ringdate 5/26/2016
The Etsy seller listed the 'new' buckle ring: Victorian, Sterling ($185, FYI) https://www.etsy.com/listing/344854243/s...ing-silver ![]() Also, as noted in my 5/26 review @ Etsy (screen name: caporteur), I would *highly* recommend this Etsy Shop. Deborah there runs it right. Just don't search it for 'tortoiseshell'; if you're anything like me, you might fall right off the deep end (lol) The little bit I now have is a *knockout* Cheers ![]()

I remember seeing rings like that in, of all places, Argos, msybe twenty years ago. Usually 9ct gold. Quite striking. Had no idea they were a revivsl of a Victorian design, though!
