I have accidentally bought a cravat. I may as well give it a spin over crimbo. But who can teach me how to tie it?
I too have a cravat, although I didn’t ‘accidentally’ buy it.
Got it for Christmas years ago from my Gran along with some chopsticks.

One man holds the key.

How is your chopstick technique?
Better than my cravat craft.
Ha ha,‘accidentally’ 
Are they not classed as ‘neckercheifs’?
It appears they are not…just googled.
They are associated with Scouts, Cowboys and Sailors… none of which are evident in above pics.
As you were…
I have a pair of side-cutters exactly like those.

Fancy…
Ahh…but do you have the leather mounted side cutter quick draw delivery system as pictured ?
I’m taking it as read you have the shirt.
TBH it looks as though the pointy end of the cutters could do you a serious injury if you were to sit down with them slung like that.
And as for the shirt … well my experience so far has been that the brown coat, accessorised with wire-rimmed specs and the all-important biros (as modelled here http://www.ampregen.com/ampregenrestore.html) is as provocative as my clientele can handle.

surely for a scientist it should be a white lab coat? When I was a child the only people wearing brown coats were school caretakers
I was a scientist once. These days I have to get down and dirty once in a while. Last week, for example, I melted a blown Quad II smoothing choke out of a can filled with bitumen - not a ‘white coat’ job at all !

Did you hit it with a hammer? If not, opportunity missed.
