Several readers asked what I was wearing in the video we produced recently for Begg & Co scarves. So here they are, one by one. 

In the jacket shots, above:

• Navy cashmere jacket by Solito.
  • Not a great level of finish, but one of the most useful jackets I’ve ever commissioned. One to keep in the office. 
• Blue spread-collar shirt by Luca Avitabile
  • Still my go-to-guy for shirts, and the spread collar style is what I wear most of time, give its ability to be worn with or without a tie, with a jacket or knitwear
• Grey cashmere tie by Drake’s
  • One of the aims of the outfit here was to be a classic but unremarkable background, to enable the scarves to stand out. A grey wool tie, with blue shirt and navy jacket, creates just that. A nice everyday office combination
• Coffee-coloured linen handkerchief by Paul Stuart, with white border
  • A slight variation on the classic white linen hank, adding a touch of personality
• Pale-grey flannel trousers by Hardy Amies
  • As mentioned before, my favourite shade of flannel – probably even more useful than the classic mid-grey. The jacket effectively separates the grey tie from grey trousers. If I thought I’d be likely to take the jacket off regularly during the day, I might have swapped for a dark tie
• Crocodile dark-brown shoes from Gaziano & Girling
  • I rarely wear exotic-leather shoes – these are my only pair. But the deep, deep brown of the leather prevents them being showy 
• ‘Army’ green scarf from Begg & Co
  • As frequently mentioned, green is the third most important colour in male clothing after navy and grey. Given it hasn’t been used elsewhere, it makes a great accessory to the rest
      

  
As above, with the addition of:

• Cifonelli navy-cashmere overcoat
  • Previous shots of this wonderful overcoat didn’t show the lapels folded down. Here you can see the horizontal, great-coat style lapels, which prevent the points from poking into the chin when they are flipped up
• Pale-brown gloves from Bill Amberg
  • I have three pairs of these, splurged on years ago when I finally found ready-made gloves that fit me well. Although not as well made as the Merola ones I now prefer, the colour of these is lovely (even if they do rather resemble an old banana poking out of my breast pocket, as one reader pointed out).
• Grey and white reversible scarf from Begg & Co
  • A very formal colour of scarf, particularly in the brushed, ‘ripple’ style finish. But also quite versatile
      

  
Lastly, with the same flannels and shirt but adding:

• Shetland crew-neck sweater from Anderson & Sheppard
  • My favourite knitwear at the moment. A bit rough to wear over a T-shirt, but lovely with a shirt and with a riot of colours in it
• Grey washed ‘Kishorn’ scarf from Begg 
  • As mentioned in the video, a washed finish is a good way to make a scarf more casual, giving as it does a more uneven surface. Pattern is another
