Accessories are perhaps the most important part of a wardrobe, and to the extent possible should always be of the highest quality. For not only do they vary the look of a jacket from wearing to wearing, great neckties, squares and scarves improve the look of the tailored clothing they accompany. The opposite may be even more true.
Scarves in particular offer opportunities to add variety to one's dress without attracting the extra attention that may accompany neckerchiefs, ascots and silk squares. In the photo, a printed silk scarf with fringed ends disguises an open necked shirt worn sans necktie (on cooler days substitute merino or cashmere for the silk). A warmer chest is a fringe benefit.
Take care with your accessories.

Great scarf Will - can you share with us where you purchased it?
Will,
I like that fabric. Can you provide further info on its origins and characteristics?
A pronouncement I'll always agree with. Moreso than my offbeat outerwear that you've seen in the past, it's actually the accessories that I derive the most pleasure from choosing
And I'm also curious as to the provenance of your scarf
The scarf has been in my wardrobe for too many years for me to recall the source, but it was most likely made by Drake's.
Esm, are you referring to the jacket fabric? That is a 15 ounce tweed from the defunct Hunters of Brora.
