On Today's Necktie

Today’s necktie is a Christmas necktie.

It is a Winnie-the-Pooh necktie.

It is a Classic Pooh necktie, an E.H. Sheppard Pooh, not the Disney Pooh.

I feel spiffy. I feel tres chic. The tie looks tres cool.

Why am I using a French adjective?

Winnie-the-Pooh and Christmas. A winning combination. 🙂

  1. You hardly ever see the original Pooh anymore. It’s always the Disney version.

    Do you have any Peanuts ties in the collection?

    I have 6. All of them are too big for me to wear, though. :/

    It can be difficult, but Classic Pooh is out there. I did some hunting to find some Classic Pooh Christmas cards this year, and I have a few Classic Pooh beanies. (I actually have an extensive Pooh beanie colleciton. Among my prized sets–Pooh and friends as the Beatles, Pooh and friends as the Three Musketeers.) I think the reason Classic Pooh dried up a few years ago was the ongoing litigation over who exactly owned what in relation to Pooh.

    Many! Fifteen, twenty, maybe. :banana:
