Cravats & Ascots
Krawattenschal, Cravat, Ascot Tie
Whatever you call it, it's an artfully tailored silk scarf that ties in a classic four-in-hand knot, almost like a tie. The cravat is worn in a shirt with one or two buttons comfortably undone. We have our high-quality models sewn exclusively in two manufactories in Italy.
The artistic tie scarf
Beau Brummell (if not known yet, google immediately!) and his contemporaries wore stiffened linen scarves around their necks, artfully knotted and secured with a jewelry pin. This was followed by the gray variant made of silk, worn with the 'cutaway', the gray tailcoat for the first half of the day, a morning wedding, or at the horse racing Royal Ascot. This is often referred to as a plastron. With the advent of the automobile, a sporty version of the tie scarf emerged, an originally purely formal accessory.
