The reason I suspect this is because the stripes originate at the upper-right hand side of the tie & slant down to the left. In my experience, an authentic British regimental pattern goes the opposite way, with the stripes beginning on the upper-left (thus eminating "from the heart" as it were) and slanting down to the right. Irrespective of whether or not it's "authentic", it's still great-looking! <BR/><BR/>PS. If you want to see a dizzying array of British regimental stripe patters, school patterns & various authentic crests, I gleefully direct you to the Ben Silver website. You might want to be sitting down when you view their selection, it's overwhelming in scope!<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>David (DWWS)DWWShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05851049194760905136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-56634910405310640392008-09-27T10:43:00.000-07:002008-09-27T10:43:00.000-07:00The label on the back reads: "Aras / Arthur L.

Tomato(from your garden-which I hope you enjoy), bacon-guanciale, and a thick spaghetti called bucatini. It's thick , and flips around so much it almost always ends up on your shirt! Looking at your patterns, this would be an almost perfect fifth pattern.<BR/><BR/>Love your posts, BTW...the garden and the clothes. Keep up the great work! When you start with a garden you can feed a beautiful family with the best food on earth. your own. The excess produce, are gifts for friends.initials CGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16676097755038091712noreply@blogger.com
