Churchill’s Polka-dots

Churchill reckoned that he only had three “real-chats” with his father during his lifetime. As such he tried to emulate him as much as possible - copying his style of dress whilst he was Chancellor of the ExChequer. He always wore a polka-dotted tie and polka-dotted cufflinks.

This past Christmas Nina surprised me with a set modeled just after Winston’s. They’re lovely! I haven’t worn them yet - been waiting for just the right occasion - but I think this Thursday will be suitable as I meet Nina when she arrives on my doorstep from New York. It seems right and proper.

    I do not recall all of the dots, but the cufflinks were awesome as was Nina.
