I've been guilty of taking the mickey out of people's collar choice. However it was certainly said (and I hope was taken) with tongue firmly in cheek. BTaP is about as unpretentious an event as you can imagine. The drink of choice is a strawpedoed Smirnoff Ice ferchrissakes!


Although do make sure you go wing collar, self tie, nothing but white shirt and black tie, won't you? Special place in hell if you can't self tie but keep one in your pocket to drape around your collar for later on smile
Wing collar? Controversial....

Last year I wore a winged collar and a clip on.

In fact, I did the year before too...the shame.
Clip-on!

Deduct 100 man points.
He also wore a tweed waistcoat. Were it not for the clip on, you'd have been forgiven for thinking he'd got lost on the way to the hunt ball. smile
