It's nice to feel good. Daps to that. What would full kit be in your case, if we may ask? Sounds like we're somewhere in the UK?

Oops no, I'm in Iowa, USA and live in the boonies. I go into town for lunch most days, in a long-sleeved dress shirt, suit pants, a tie (but I wear a bolo), a jacket and decent shoes. Not terribly fancy but not 'casual' at all.

Bolo for the #yolo! I'm gonna have to pick one up next time in Texas or Nevada, or Iowa! I'd like one with an Egyptian looking scarab beetle or maybe a sort of butterfly or bird motif?

Wicked to know we're representing on all levels. I'd best start with cowboy boots though..
I had this idea of wearing a camelhair jacket; the bolo would a absolutely kill it.

I have to admit - my ties are not all southwest/native in design. I make them myself and use all sorts of stones, blown glass, fossils and even wood emblems. Of course I make silver-and-turquois (the most common request I get!) too. The turquoise I get these days is all synthetic; the American deposits of real turquoise are long run out.
I found a cloisonné fish in a shop once, and made a tie for my niece who's getting a PhD in fisheries. She loved it!
BUT when I leave the house, its in full kit. Because I like to. Its nice to look good.
