Such a vulgar tie would be worn by raffish, low-life types, e.g. ex-convicts
-- which Tantivy (?) makes specific with reference to a particular UK

P193.1-3  "No, this is very embarrassing, you've got to take it off."
"You like that? She's genuine hand-painted! Look! Nice tits, huh?"
"It's the Wormwood Scrubs School Tie."

Is this a (hand-painted) tie often worn by ex-inmates of the Wormwood Scrubs
Prison?
