    Argyle & Sutherland stripe tie on Ebay??

    I don't know what to make of this necktie on Ebay

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/CLASSIC-Robe...p2056016.l4276

    For one thing, Robert Talbot can't spell 'Argyll'?

    For another, the stripes are going the wrong way.

    Third, that pattern looks nothing like the neckties worn by the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders of Scotland.

    Now, I have the Ben Silver catalogue in front of me and they do have a tie in that pattern listed as "1st Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders" (R35A) but also the tie I think of as being the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders likewise listed as "1st Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders" (R35).

    What is the story? Is R35A the old pre-1881 93rd Highlanders? The 91st Highlanders? The Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders of Canada?
