Ascot, »Elephant«

The shape of this tie became known in England in the second half of the 19th century. Well-dressed gentlemen attending the annual Royal Ascot race at Ascot Heath racecourse to the south of Windsor wore this type of cravat and made it popular. It was later named after the racecourse at Ascot that was opened on 11 August 1711 by Queen Anne, who loved hunting and horses.The high-quality cravat looks particularly elegant with its colourful depiction of classic Persian hunting scenes. Neat and stylish at the same time, made from 100 % finest, flowing silk, it is a real head-turner. The tapered ascot with loop can be worn both classically with an elegant suit and sportily with a corduroy or tweed jacket. Ideal for any occasion where an open collar is a little too casual and a classic tie is too formal.
