    I am supposed to be ruthlessly hard-hearted with my stock, but I go all wishy-washy and hopelessly gooey when confronted with dual-tone suit slips of the late 1950s and more often than not bag them for my personal collection instead.

    Ooh they are fabulous! We were discussing these on the private side recently, trying to remember what they are called. I think someone found an advert I'll try and post it here.

    They don't have to be dual-tone to be suit slips, of course - here's a St Michael single tone number :
