1860-1920:The Ascot




The ascot, a broad scarf or necktie worn looped under the chin so the ends are laid flat, one across the other. The modern ascot tie consists of several pleats in the neckband, and two wide flaps of equal width, normally coming to a point at the ends. There is also a similar style of tie known as the ascot scarf, which gained popularity in the 1960s. This was a square scarf rather than tie, loosely tied around the neck, which is still worn today by US military candidates.
