Apparently, I don't know how to wear a scarf.
I thought you just wrapped the buggers around your neck and that was it.
But no, that's all wrong.
You have to double then up, and pass the central loop around your neck, and then shove the 2 loose ends through the loop.
When did that become a thing?
Blimey. That was a thing in Paris in the late 70's
Our doc started doing it in the '90s, which is about the right time for Parisian folderols to permeate as far as Alsatia Bucolica*. Worn thus, a scarf so resembles a garotte that a dozen such paragons, got together, might well impersonate the Burgers of Calais. However, tugging a foresomething or other to Brexit,
Newgate Fashion might be more appropriate.
Seriously, the only real scarf is a sexapede swag a foot wide, whereof half dangles down the front while the remainder encircles the neck and dangles down the back, either inside or outside one's overcoat. The folds may thus be arranged to protect everything from chin to sternum. Worn Newgate style, a scarf does little to stem the wintry blast aimed at one's respiratories.
*the Internet got here in 2008 on the back of a donkey, which was promptly eaten with sauerkraut and boiled potatoes.
