it's a vintage French workwear one.
I saw a couple of Tootalls in L.A. yesterday. One had an emblem of Liverpool P.S. and ??? (I figured P.S. was for Public School, and I've forgotten the rest of the initials.)
herring and sproily, I'm really liking the monochrome angle. Silvery grey seems to lend itself very well to this kind of mix'n'match approach.
I relaly like the little hint of blue in sproily's jacket.

I love all my Tootal ties and I have quite a few- (one very similar to your brown TT too). They were quite easy to come by I thought... probably wont find another now!

Very nice, ArrowCollarMan! Very Victorian with the wingtip collar and four-in-hand tie! the tie complements the ensemble very nicely and it really suits you
Only a shame there's so much backlighting in the shot! Your camera may have a setting to correct for that, otherwise you might try reversing your position with that of the camera so the light is behind the camera and shining on you.
Overall, bravo!

Do you wear them? If not, there are plenty of people here who will gladly help you empty some space in your cupboards.I love all my Tootal ties and I have quite a few- (one very similar to your brown TT too). They were quite easy to come by I thought... probably wont find another now!

i love this look especially the detachable collar, loving the tie a close up would be nice and is that a pocket watch on end of chain or something else. i love pocket watches i own two a startrek one and a silver clooured one
Sorry- I’m afraid I wear them when I do my 1930’s “lest go for a country ramble” look!
Oh and Sproily, I'm rather envious of your Jacket! Is it original?
