Damsons Leather Toggle Tan

Our leather is treated with waxes and oils to produce a beautiful oily "pull-up" distressed effect which lightens in colour when folded or turned.  

The natural grain is left intact to show all the growth marks and the unique character to give a distinctive antique look. Made from 100% cow leather with our elegant debossed Swallow design this leather toggle creates an easy, alternative way of creating that iconic knotted necktie.  

Origins: First used in 1769, "pin passed through the eye of a rope, strap, or bolt to hold it in place," a nautical word of uncertain origin, perhaps a frequentative form of tog "tug." As a kind of fastener, it is recorded from 1934. In 1920 the term woggle was used and originated from Scout leader Bill Shankley who began experimenting with different materials to produce a device that held the two ends of a neckerchief together.

Style Tip: Finish any of our scarves or bandanas with the leather toggle. An easy and alternative way of creating that iconic knotted neckerchief. keeping your valuables secure in your pocket.
