Very valid point! If the tops had "Celestron" blazened in letters 100mm high I would not be interested and would consider something like this a bit tacky, as in your dinner party quote. Most of the times my tops would be worn at a viewing where my C11 would be on plain view, however, being more subtle (maybe 10 to 20 mm high) they could be worn on a more casual basis without screaming "wanker" to the world. I don't wear any clothing with obvious branding on them, which seems to be more common with the younger generation who seem to have a need to display their "affluence", or is that "effluance" (sorry K&K for stealing your yumour!).

I have a couple of leads on the tops which I will follow up and let you know the outcome, if indeed there is one!
