How will you tie your cravat?
Our famous regency cravats have made their way around the world in venues from Broadway to Kensington Palace.
- Neckclothitania is one of the most referenced period guides for style.
- The styles you will find in our photos are most often the Mailcoach and the bow.
- Mailcoach is a wrap styles that rings both ends first towards your back, wrapping them from the back to the front, and then continuing with the style of knot as desired.
- The bow is achieved the same way you would tie your shoelace, after the first knot, then tie a bow.
Formal Cravat - How to tie
- Formal cravats can be tied in the similar styles for a conventional necktie, most often the Four-in-hand or Windsor. Formal cravats can also be worn in the day cravat style.
- Day cravats are shorter than the formal cravat, and are a semi-formal or formal-casual piece. They are typically worn under the collar against the neck.
Dupioni Silk - Care and Cleaning
- We order Dupioni Silk from India, handwoven and hand dyed. This is a high end stubby silk with typically small imperfections that make it so desired.
- Cravats can be spot cleaned or dry cleaned to maintain crispness.
- Because duping is a pure silk, you can iron with steam to remove creases and wrinkles.
