Could 92 be the percent of silver content, indicating sterling silver?

Noticed these on the end of the belt tip just now. Is the 92 the year it was made?

I have found stuff from TJ where the labels don't mention Oxxford but I'd bet my back teeth it was made by them. Handpadded lapels, Oxxford's signature long buttonhole...can't imagine there's anybody else doing that same work for them.

I picked a jacket off the racks a few months ago recognizing the buttons as Oxxford's. The only tag said "Ventura" (another had been removed). Everything about the jacket details said Oxxford, so I bought it and Googled it when I got home. That of course led me to Tom James "Ventura" line, and the debate about whether or not it (and other lines) are made by Oxxford. Having compared my Ventura side by side to an Oxxford, I can't believe it's made by anyone else.

How does one go about getting this kind of wear on a tie?

All the Ventura line I've seen were made in Italy.

Sometimes, I get bored and scratch my beard with my tie. I guess it's not good for the ties...?

Cross post...


Quick lunch break photo. Back into tweed this morning, likely the last time until fall. Though I would have chosen a different PS, the chest photo's flash exaggerates everything. Last two photos show accurate colors.
