I cannot believe this has all happened from one tweet but, by some miracle and some hard work over the past 24 hours, Hedgehog Ties will be available for purchase once again!
After quite a few emails and telephone calls to the wonderful staff of the British Hedgehog Preservation Society and of Ryder and Amies in Cambridge, I've organised a new production of a Navy Silk Hedgehog Tie, the first in over thirty years!
Ties will cost £45 each with £10 of that £45 going directly towards the British Hedgehog Preservation Society (I do not receive a single penny from the sale of these ties, £35 is purely the cost of production + materials per tie)
Pre-orders will be open for two weeks and, afterwards, the ties will go to production! They should take approx. 10 weeks to be completed.

Erling Haaland spent $134,000 on a book he'll never read.
Then gave it away.
Last December, he and his father quietly bought the 1594 edition of Snorri Sturluson's Kings' Sagas at auction — the most expensive book ever sold in Norwegian history.
Only one copy exists on earth.
They donated it to the public library in Bryne.
The town where Haaland grew up.
One condition: it stays open. Anyone can walk in and read it.
What actually is this book?
Written in 1230, it chronicles Norwegian kings from the age of gods through medieval history — warriors, farmers, kings from the exact coastal region Haaland calls home.
The 1594 edition was the first time it was ever printed in Norwegian.
Before that it lived in manuscripts, locked away from ordinary people for 350 years.
He bought the moment his people's history became something they could hold — and handed it to the next generation.
"I want the book always to lie open so people can read about those who came from where I come from."
He scored twice for Norway today in his first ever World Cup match.
The kings in that book would've approved.
🇫🇷🎻🏰 INSOLITE | Ce groupe normand de musique médiévale reprend « Beat It » de Michael Jackson avec des instruments d’époque. Le résultat est bluffant : on a l’impression d’entendre un tube joué dans une taverne du XIVe siècle. 😂

@YIMBYLAND Just watch a Dallas city council meeting & you’ll know why it doesn’t happen.
Been watching for 30 years…they are such a selfish group. No intention of serving the public.
