From Chris
"I have a friend getting married in two months. He is going to wear morning clothes (yeah!) but is having difficulty locating the proper neckwear. Cravats are hard to come by in number, it seems. Do you have suggestions?"
Macclesfield four in hands would be equally appropriate (that's what the Duke of Windsor wore to marry Wallis and HRH Prince Charles did the same when he married Camilla Parker Bowles) but there should be no problem securing cravats from New & Lingwood or Budd in London.

Might I also suggest Carrot & Gibbes, based here in the USA. Our shop here in Charleston has been with C&G from the very beginning, and each item is made by hand in the USA from imported fabrics.
The house specialty is bowties (Robb Report #1 in the world, past 6 years), however they make wonderful formal wear. I have a number of cravats by them myself.
I would be happy to field any questions on the topic, or help as best I can. Things can usually be had fairly quickly.
(Sorry Will, shameless plug coming - CharlestonBows.Com, launching this week, will feature C&G bows, and a selection of formal wear options, such as cravats!)
