Saw these on eBay.

The real question though is what tie knot to use if you're wearing them with jodhpurs and a Napoleonic jacket to an interview at a major law firm.

Any variety of paddock boot, like a chelsea or jodphur, is another matter.

A bit like wearing driving gloves and a helmet to a meeting isn't it? Of course I suppose it would depend on the meeting.
