Can I still wear a Cravat ?

[max_power]

I enjoyed the hat's bit below but what about Cravat's ?

I really do like to keep the old neck comfortable at times in the British climate but it seems to have gone out of fashion - like the old snot rag listing to port ( or is it starboard ?)

Is it ok to wear those handkerchief's like the narrowboats type chaps do or is it bad form on a yacht ?

Why not? Some people even ware red sailcloth trousers!

Dear Clyst,

I'am sorry that you feel I have made a 'crap' posting , I thought it may be a bit of fun in this otherwise quiet time.

However, I do feel that there is a decent way of communicating with people rather than the aggresive way that you have chosen. A simple ' I think this is out of place on this forum' would have done fine.


Apologies

Do you mean <font color=red> panoply</font color=red> Byron? Its somewhere between <font color=red> orifice</font color=red> and<font color=red> p*n*s</font color=red> in the dictionary!

I think it's quite OK. I have 2 silk cravats. One green and one red (nothing to do with port and starboard). They close the gap in an open neck shirt wonderfully. I also have a video of a TV program where an old sailer wearing a cravat tells that "a stiff breeze is where one can no longer drink a gin and tonic on deck". His appearance and his sentiments I find quite acceptable even today!

Should you really be asking this question. Shurely this is a question of style. Have you the poise to carry off the wearing of such a high fashion accessory?

Only you can develop your Couture.

How can we be expected to answer this question on a text based forum?

I can't find p*n*s in the dictionary. Does p*n*s actually represent <font color=red>penis</font color=red>?
If so, have you represented it in that form because you consider it to be a rude word?

Spot on, Nige. I am so repressed/inhibited - obviously a hangover from my boarding school days when looking up 'rude' words in the dictionary almost counted as a hobby (for the non-rugby playing types - not me of course!). As a result, I can scarcely bring myself to say (type) the word. But theres something of this in all of us, isn't there - hence euphemisms like percy, todger, willie etc.......
And then there's Byron's sensibilities to consider. It was only his delicate side that drew us together!!!

Happy with this, Mr Clyst? /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

<font color=blue>Being serious for a moment. Wearing a Cravat can be most useful when in France, provided it is worn with a nice white shirt, blazer and gray trousers. If one comes across a difficult Gendarme or Doune Officer one can look at them imperiously and in a haughty voice say something like "Damned Frog, twice we have had to save you from the Boche, isn't it time you realised that we British are your superiors" This will generally cause them to look guilty and apologise to you profusely.

I bet you get plenty of free guided tours of the Gallic penal institutions too.

I didn't know you went to an Approved School and then on to Borstal, silly me, I should have guessed, the way you talk out of the side of your mouth, your addiction to Porridge, your suits with the arrows on and the fact the you can sew up a mailbag quicker than anyone else I know.

So where do roll-ups come in this scheme of things? Used to be a dead give-away!/forums/images/icons/smile.gif

 

[byron]

<font color=blue>Possibly in your era, to us youngsters it gives away Dutchmen and icons of the 60s.

Not rollups,,,,,,,,, but if you can split a swan vesta into six with a razor blade, that would do it.
