  • British Galleries: TIES<br> Ties came in a variety of colours and styles and were still known as cravats. Some were tied by hand while others were ready-made into knots. Ready-mades had a cardboard stiffener to keep the knot in place. They were fastened around the neck with a buckle, catch or piece of elastic. [27/03/2003] (en)

  • Object Type
    The necktie was an essential part of a Victorian gentleman's dress. The variety of styles and colours must have offered some relief from the dark tones then fashionable for men's suits. In March 1895 the Tailor and Cutter referred to ties and scarves as being the 'saving touch from the monotony of sombreness ... Bows, scarves and ties seem to get more and more varied, and, in the majority of styles prettier and more artistic.'

    Design & Designing
    The high collars fashionable in the late 19th century often made it difficult to keep the neckband of the tie in place. The invention of tie clips and frames helped to solve this problem.

    Time
    During second half of the 19th century four distinct styles of necktie evolved. They were given a great many different names, which can be confusing. The main categories were: (i) bow tie; (ii) scarf or neckerchief; (iii) Ascot; and (iv) four-in-hand, or sailor's knot, generally referred to as the 'long tie'.     (en)
