One of my go-to cravats, she works beautifully with all the other cravats and is made of lovely soft cotton. White one side and has a subtle brown paisley outline on the other. Features on the front cover of Cravat-a-licious with Danielle and Alison and on the back of the book with Lilac Leona. 

Named after her designer Leona Edmiston. She's a rare example of a Leona Edmiston scarf, always partners beautifully with Ros and has been designed so no matter how you wear her, the Leona Edmiston tag always seems to pop out. Lilac Leona and Ros feature together on the back of Cravat-a-licious.
 

 

 

 

Hand-made for me by a fan, Wilma is cut in a Jabot style and has been designed to avoid any unsightly flash of flesh from a cravat that's too narrow. It requires a rather unorthodox tying technique. 

 

 

One of three cravats given to me by a widow in Adelaide who wanted to find a good home for her hubby's three favourite pieces of neckware and couldn't bear to put them in an op shop. She came to a book signing and presented me with the three of them and they are now happily re-homed in my Cravatatorium. 

One of the other three cravats from Adelaide. Small Brown Jim is so named because he's got a smaller paisley brown pattern. 

 

 

This is Long Michelle, so-named because she's longer and far better behaved than Short Michelle, (aka Slutty Michelle). I love a polka dot. 

Has become known as 'Slutty Michelle' due to her inability to keep herself nice on set. The cravat most likely to escape from my shirt or pocket and to flap around in a most unbecoming manner. 

This one is Chocolate Orange Marina. A delicate gossamer-fine silk named in honour of my South Australian cravat curator. One of her many marvelous finds. 

This is The Cricketer, a beautiful textured silk cravat made in England by Drakes. Strangely hard to wear given his wide horizontal stripe as you always looks like you're about to go in to bat for the English cricket team circa 1922. 

One of three Ascots given to me by cameraman Rob on the set of MasterChef. They were his late father's and he gave them to me. Hence they are named in honour of his dad Phillip. Slightly narrow, normally best worn as a double or with a big-collared shirt. 

This is another Goldsworthy-sourced cravat and the first one she gave me. She's called Mia after Mia Freedman. Quite narrow so works best as duo but has the most beautiful green and yellow paisley, sparsely used on a red silk background.
 

 

 

Named after one of the world's more dissolute cravat wearers - the Richard Griffiths character in the film Withnail and I.
 

Named as per Uncle Monty Blue. Another very smart cravat, the pair are often worn together like brothers. Both were sourced by my cravat curator in South Australia, Marina Goldsworthy. Her tireless searches through the op shops of Stirling in the Adelaide Hills has resulted in some of the greatest cravat finds. 

A Klipper cravat made in wash and wear Tricel. She's a weird cravat because she looks white but the green and grey pattern makes her look pale pink. She's called Kate DW and She's named after the director of MasterChef and Celebrity MasterChef, Kate Douglas Walker, a stylish woman known for her black and white outfits. Strangely this cravat also has a habit of misbehaving even though she's of regulation length and not short like slutty Michelle. I blame the Kate DW influence.
