Photo: The Daily MailHRH Prince Charles demonstrates how to utilize an untucked scarf to fill a jacket opening when there's no necktie. A length of cashmere keeps the chest warm and the centers the viewer's eye on the wearer's face.
Most readers will want to use this technique with an odd jacket rather than a Chitrali Cloak from the Pakistani tribal areas. Said cloak costs but £30 ($45), which is unusually good value for twelve yards of hand loomed lambs' wool, however the low cost is no doubt related to the 340 mile trip from Islamabad that's required to reach the town where they are made. Fortunately, the royal publicity means we can probably expect to find the garments in the J. Peterman catalog next season.
Still, for now tweed jackets are considerably simpler to obtain. Cashmere scarves may be found at the same sources.

I am very taken with that garment. Of course Prince Charles gets away with this not because he is the heir to the throne, or because he is wealthy, or even because he is somewhat eccentric, but because he normally dresses impeccably. I know he is not the innovator that his great uncle was, but when you look at HRH's clothes, they are normally not merely good -they are superb.
