The knotted hanky - - a photo on Flickriver

            I didn't know anybody actually did this; I thought it just a comedy cliché.

The fashioning of a white handkerchief into headwear by tying knots at the corners became something of a clichéd image of the British male at play in sunny weather. 

Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols and the Monty Python team became associated with this forgotten look.

A look best forgotten.
