Volunteer needed: ABF Tie Chain

[CMcG]

I'm looking for someone to continue the Army Benevolent Fund (ABF) Tie Chain. The volunteer I was waiting on has informed me that he won't be ready for a while...

The ABF Tie Chain was started by Jock Scot in a thread called Review My Attire 2. I received mine and you can read about the experience HERE. Now I'm looking for someone who will receive an ABF tie from me, post pics, and then find another person to send an ABF tie to, thereby continuing the chain.

Jock's original specs:
"Here is the deal. This volunteer will have to be known to me as being from the "every thing must match" school of thought -----I know who some of you are-----who has an adventurous streak and is perhaps from the ranks of the newer kilt wearing brigade . He will need a traditional style tartan kilt(box pleats will do), a tattersall shirt, traditional tweed day jacket (waist coat optional), brown/black brogues(wingtips, but NOT ghillie brogues), traditional day sporran, any colour other than white hose and flashes/garter ties.

Apart from the tweed jacket matching with the waist coat, the hose matching with each other, same with the flashes/shoes (perhaps sporran) NOTHING MUST MATCH in a significant way.Think of my pictures, Sandy's pictures and pictures of that style that you may have seen on this website.

When this volunteer has assembled his kit and PM's me his postal address, I will send him a tie(free of charge)and that he must wear it with the above gear, have a picture taken and publish it here with your thoughts on how you look and feel.

The tie will be along traditional Regimental lines and it will be yours to keep. You will not upset any "Old Soldier" by wearing this tie at any time at any place, but the money from the purchase(by me) of this tie will be going to a very worthy cause."

It's for a good cause and the tie is lovely. Who's next?

[CMcG]

Any takers?

Well....If no one else....

Good man!

Just send me a PM with your name and address, so we can get the ball rolling

[Jock Scot]

Good man and thank you.

Livingston's tie is on its way and I look forward to the next installment of the ABF Tie Chain. piperdbh is next after that

While we're at it, who wants to get in line?

Priority should still be given to matchy-matchy types looking to try something different but others are welcome to play too. Remember the proceeds go to charity... and it's fun!

Well done, CmcG... and looking forward to Livingston's installment!

My wife order today for my upcoming birthday a couple of tattersall shirts from the Sierra Trading Company so, I will get in the queue behind Piperdbh.

Livingston posted his pic over on the ABF Ties thread awhile ago and I'm eagerly awaiting the next instalment of the chain...
