A Carefree Scarf and Status Update

Scarves may be tied any number of ways, and perhaps the most carefree is the simple loop worn low around the neck. This one is not about the scarf's body heat retention. It is purely a look at me look, and sometimes that is the wearer's intention.

In the photo I am feeling somewhat carefree for a Sunday spent hard at work. The small storage and fulfillment space in the background is now operational and I am happy to report that the ASW web store should be up by December 1.

When open, the store will offer products from, in no particular order, Drake's London, Cravate Royale, Simonnot-Godard, E&G Cappelli, and Vanners along with a great Astrakhan hat. Gaziano & Girling shoes, Innis Meain knitwear, Albert Thurston braces and a few exotic hide belts will follow shortly thereafter, and there will be a couple more lines in the Spring. More than half of the items will be ASW designs that are exclusive to the store.

I have no plans to offer shirts or tailored clothing since, as regular readers know, I believe those should be made for the individual. But, to the best of my ability, everything that will be on offer will be worthy of your time.
