THE HISTORY OF NECKTIE

1618-1648: THE THIRTYYEARS WAR

It was around this time

that the CROATIAN

mercenaries from the

FRENCH Military

Frontier wearing theirtraditional small

knotted neckerchiefs

aroused the interest of

the PARISIANS. Due to

the slight difference in

the Croatian words for

Croats,Hrvati, and the

French word, Croates,

the garment gained the

name CRAVAT

1650-1720: THE STEINKIRK

The STIENKIRK, a neck cloth with long lace ends and

which is worn in a disheveled manner became very popular.

It originated in THE BATTLE OF STEENKERQUE, when the

French soldiers tucked their neck scarves into their

buttonholes because they were caught by surprise by the

enemy and had no time to properly dress.

17201800:

STOCKS,SOLITAIRES, NECKCLOTHES&

CRAVATS

In 1715 another kind of neckwear called STOCKS, made its

appearance. Stocks were initially just a small piece of muslin

folded into a narrow band wound a few times round the shirt

collar and secured from behind with a pin. The ends were

tucked into a black silk bag worn at the nape of the neck. The SOLITAIRE was a variation of the bag wig. This form

had matching ribbons stitched around the bag. After the stock

was in place, the ribbons would be brought forward and tied in

a large bow in front of the wearer.

1800-1850: CRAVATS,STOCKS,SCARVES& BANDANAS

During this time, there was also much interest in the way to tie

a proper cravat and this led to a series of publications. Thisbegan , in the year 1918 with NECKCLOTHITANIA, which is a

book that contained instructions and illustrations on how to tie

14 different cravats. It was also the first book to use the word

tie in association with neckwear.

BANDANA : A Bandana is also known as a kerchief. A

kerchief (from the French word couvre-chefwhich means"cover the head") is a triangular or square piece of cloth tied

around the head or around the neck for protective or decorative

purposes.

SCARVES : A scarf is a piece of fabric worn on or near the

head or around the neck for warmth, cleanliness, fashion or forreligious reasons. Ancient Rome is one of the first origins of the

scarf, where it was not used to keep warm, but to keep clean. It

was called the sudarium, which translates from Latin to

English as "sweat cloth", and was used to wipe the sweat from

the neck and face in hot weather. They were originally worn by

men around their neck or tied to their belt.

1850-1920: BOWTIES,SCARVES,ASCOTS& THE LONGNECK TIE

The industrial revolution created a need for neckwearthat was easy to put on, comfortable and would last an

entire workday. The modern necktie, as is still worn by

millions of men today, was born. It was long, thin and easy

to knot and it didnt come undone.

In 1864, the first mass-produced readymade tie waspatented and became widely popular throughout much of

GERMANY and the UNITED STATES of AMERICA.

In 1880, the BRITISH MILITARY abandoned their

brightly coloured uniforms in an effort to camouflage;however, their original colours remained in the stripes of

their neckties, which became a signature part of their

uniform.

BOWTIE : The bow tie is a men's necktie popularly worn

with formal attire, such as suits or dinner jackets. It consists

of a ribbon of fabric tied around the collar in a symmetrical

manner such that the two opposite ends form loops. It is also

informally called as DICKIE BOW.

ASCOT : An ascot tie, or ascot, is a narrow neckband with

wide pointed wings, traditionally made of pale grey patternedsilk. This wide, formal tie is usually patterned, folded over,

and fastened with a stickpin or tie tack. It is usually reserved

for wear with morning dress for formal daytime weddings

and worn with a cutaway morning coat and striped grey

trousers. This type of dress cravat is made of a thicker, woven

type of silk similar to a modern tie and is traditionally either

grey or black.

THE LONG NECKTIE : The modern day NECK TIE came

into existence during this period, which can be classified in

terms of different types of knots, fabrics, designs etc

1920-1950:

After the First World War, hand-painted ties became an

accepted form of decoration in America. The widths of some of

these ties went up to 4.5 inches (110 mm). These loud,flamboyant ties sold very well all the way through the 1950s.

1920 : The French fashion designers invented the first variation

of the Designer Tie which were made from very expensive

materials and had very bold and colourful designs.

1920 : The Macclesfield tie became very popular among wealthy

Americans. These ties featured a geometric pattern that wasspecialty of this London areas textile mills.

1926 : American tailor JESSE LANGSDORF created a new

method of tie production that improved the elasticity and the

fabrics ability to return to its original shape.

1936 : The Duke of Windsor invented the W

IND

SOR KNOT for

ties, a wide, triangular knot placed on shirt collars.

with unique and bolder patterns, further symbolizing the

freedom of expression.

1950S- PRESENTDAY : THE EMERGENCEOF THE FORMALNECKTIE

The Bold Look lasted until about 1951, when the "Mister T" look (so termed by

Esquire magazine), was introduced. The new style, characterized by tapered suits,

slimmer lapels, and smaller hat brims, included thinner and not so wild ties. Tie

widths slimmed to 3" by 1953 and continued getting thinner up until the mid-

1960s; length increased to about 52" as opposed to the length of 48 earlier.

The 1960s brought about an influx of pop art influenced designs. Ties became

wider, returning to their 4 inch width, sometimes with garish colors and

designs.

In the 1980s, narrower ties, some as narrow as 1" but more typically 3" to 3"

wide, became popular again. Into the 1990s, as ties got wider again, increasingly

unusual designs became common. Novelty (or joke) ties or deliberately kitschy ties

designed to make a statement gained a certain popularity in the 1980s and 1990s.

These included ties featuring cartoon characters, commercial products or pop

culture icons, and those made of unusual materials, such as plastic or wood.

During this period, with men wearing their pants at their hips, ties lengthened to

57".

At the start of the 21st century, ties widened to 3" to 3" wide, with a broad

range of patterns available, from traditional stripes, foulards, and club ties (Ties

with a crest or design signifying a club, organization, or order) to abstract,

themed, and humorous ones. The standard length remains 57", though 2008 and

2009 saw a return to narrower ties. While ties as wide as 3" are still available,

ties under 3" wide also became popular, particularly with younger men and the

fashion-conscious.
