Not just a Tootal silk scarf alternative, this new range from 66 Clothing also has some rather interesting patterns.
And that’s the pull here. Well, that and the price. I have mentioned that the price of a Tootal has risen considerably of late, now around the £60 mark. With that in mind, I have also put together a feature on some cheaper Tootal alternatives if you want to save some money. If I were writing it again today, this range would fit in nicely. I’ll probably tag them along at the end.
But it’s not just about saving money (which is nice). It’s about the use of patterns on these scarves. This isn’t just a rehash of what Tootal did half a century ago (and still does).
Five silk scarves are in the initial range, all with unique selling points.
Working down the page first is the Going Underground scarf, named that because it is based on the scarf worn by Paul Weller in The Jam’s Going Underground video. If you want that look, this is, like all the others, a silk scarf sized 115cm x 25cm and sold with a free 66 Clothing pin badge to keep the scarf in place (or to wear separately).
The second is the Ricky scarf, which, if you look closely, is inspired by the Rickenbacker guitar. Yes, lots of little guitars create the pattern. It’s the same size, has the same badge included, and, like all of them, is sold in a clear gift bag.
Next up is another paisley one, a darker paisley inspired by John Lennon’s iconic paisley shirt from The Beatles’ 1966 Rain photoshoot.
Below that in copper and black is the 45s scarf. If you can’t tell, the pattern comprises 45rpm record adapters. It shouldn’t really work as a scarf, but it does. Finally, the black and grey scarf is based around a Northern Soul logo.
All the scarves are just on the shelves and sell for £46 each. Limited editions, of course.
