The city of Bath is one of England's most elegant places to visit. Set in the Somerset countryside about 100 miles west of London, the World Heritage city sits on the only naturally occuring hot spring in the United Kingdom. Its springs, Roman baths, medieval Abbey and Georgian architecture have attracted visitors for centuries.

A few miles outside of the city proper is the home office of Internet haberdasher KJ Beckett. Here, the three Beckett brothers have brought the 21st century to the area, assembling a selection of contemporary accessories made for the store as well as selected items from modern English designers such as Robert Charles and Simon Carter. I found the site because of its outstanding knit tie collection. There's a large assortment of other neckties, wool scarves and dozens of brightly colored and patterned socks for casual wear.

Beckett maintains inventory of the offered items and generally any order received by noon is shipped the same day. Most UK customers receive their orders by Royal Mail in 2 to 3 days. US and ECC customers usually receive their orders within a week. The company stands behind its offerings with a liberal return policy.
