    Gentlemen. it appears we are in very esteemed company in wearing the ABF tie.
    During one of our news programes, not 5 minutes ago, HRH Prince Charles, was expressing the Royal Family's concern in relation to the Queensland flood, and yes, there peaking from beneath his jacket, was a ABF tie

    Alright. I finally received and have proudly for display my ABF tie. The photos don't do this tie justice. It is quite handsome and am happy to have it recommended. These pics are courtesy of Zardoz. The event was the Rory Miggins Memorial Irish Stew Cook-Off, which also serves as a fundraiser for the Houston St. Patrick's Day Parade.

    To my left are Zardoz and Patrick Devlin (of the Blaggards). I followed Jock's "rules" about not necessarily matching. I'm wearing black shoes (new casual brogues) and fur Ferguson-Britt sporran with brown leather trim. I had to set aside my fairly new black-n-white fleck argyll for a warmer jacket for the temps.


    Here's a rare pic of TriolaMJ, and a pic of the tie with the defused sun giving it more justice than a camera flash. Unfortunately the lady did not introduce herself...nor, did her husband who took the photo.

    Very nice Steve. It's a smashin' tie to wear with all manner of kilts. I like your waistcoat too.
