Neckwear

A selection of neckwear available for either a wing collar or standard collar style shirt. The modern necktie, ascot, and bow tie are descended from the cravat. There is a long history of neckwear worn by soldiers (Chinese and Roman), whether as part of a uniform or as a symbol of belonging to a particular group. The modern necktie traces back to the time of the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) when Croatian mercenaries from the Croatian Military Frontier in French service, wearing their traditional small, knotted neckerchiefs aroused the interest of the Parisians. At the time of the industrial revolution, more people wanted neckwear that was easy to put on, comfortable and would last an entire workday. Neckties were designed long, thin and easy to knot, and they did not come undone. This is the necktie design still worn by millions of men. Or choose from our selection of ready tied tartan bow ties. Add sophistication and poise to your little ones outfit which are available in several tartans.
