Spring and summer boating type striped blazer to make me stand out from the riff raff...help me decide

[Accy cyclist]

As the weather's turned colder I've been wearing a scarf for the past couple of weeks and not a single person has approached me to pass comment on it.

It depends on the style of it and how you wear it!

A nice (in my opinion) scarf I bought in 'the shop' yesterday. 100 percent wool and an impressive 6 foot by 10.5 inches! 🧐

Of a modest age too.
The company ceased manufacturing in October 2007 and the telephone number does not have the prefix 01, which for most areas was 1995.

Yes, i noticed the lack of the 1 number.🤔 I reckon such a scarf would be about 60 to 70 quid now.

Edit.....Just spotted this similar one at £85.

It sure is!!

Could we get some made up in CycleChat colours? Garish orange, blue and white, maybe some blazer badges while we're at it...

Something like this maybe?🤔 Not quite a college style scarf, but it's in CC's colours.

On the subject of scarves, I've spotted this and think it's worth its reasonable price.

Looks very much like a college scarf.

If that’s bottle green, it’s like my old Leeds uni one

When I was in the woollen knitwear business we got request for scarves. We did very few as they are a pain to make and were expensive to make as well.

Masquerading as an undergraduate is a serious matter !

After all an undergraduate is a pimple on the seat of learning

My undergraduate scarf from Glasgow University got so worn I discarded it but I still have the tie and blazer badge. Not long after discarding it the local theatre company asked to borrow the whole shebang and were most disappointed not to get the scarf.

Could you say the scarf I linked is worth that much? 🤔

Fair play, that's a genuinely high class jacket.
Accy scrubs up quite well when he makes an effort
