We have always held to the idea that a gentleman’s scarf should be at least as long as he is tall. Now, we don’t know any nine-foot-tall men, but the Gallup scarf will, at any rate, wrap the wearer in nine feet of cozy, cabled love. Named for Simon Gallup, The Cure’s bassist, the scarf’s undulating cables are reminiscent of the melodic underpinnings that support The Cure’s perfect postpunk pop songs.
