Since opening the ASW store I have had repeated requests for neckerchiefs, a hard to find necktie alternative that is less formal than the ascot and less obvious than either a scarf or the larger silk square I have offered since January.
The first neckerchief to arrive at the store is a 27" cotton square woven in Italy to Michael Drake's specifications and exclusive to A Suitable Wardrobe. Just fold it into a band, twist it tightly and tie with a square knot. Let the ends dangle free either outside or inside the shirt collar.
Look for three or four silken versions to follow over the course of the coming week.
Happy knotting.

The First of the Neckerchiefs

"Repeated requests for neckerchiefs"? I find that a welcome bit of news, but still rather hard to believe, unless the request is coming from the same eccentric chap, over and over again.
The impressive thing is that the eccentric chap is troubling to use names and addresses from a variety of location in the U.S. and Western Europe.
Whereas the cravat has associations with 'cads and bounders' the neckerchief has allusions to the 60s, which is more in keeping with current trends (and implying that it's better to be a swinger than a rake, or that there is a discernible difference even?)
