A slightly different way to tie a neckerchief is to knot it four-in-hand style like a necktie. Cravate Royale's heavy printed silk paisley neckerchief is worn with a Simonnot-Godard chambray shirt and a linen safari jacket. Both the shirt and the jacket were made by Joe Hemrajani.
At and below the waist, light-weight taupe cavalry twill trousers made by Salvatore Ambrosi and George Cleverley slip-ons.

A Neckerchief Tied Four in Hand

I have just started to collect vintage silk scarves and plan to use as ascots. This has given me some pointers! Thanks
Very nice neckerchief, can you advise me where I can find one, or do you have in your online store?
The maker had only enough silk for one neckerchief and it is generally not practical for me to offer one of a kind silks for sale.
Looks great. Especially with the jacket. I really have to buy some neckerchiefs aswell.
The cotton or linen neckerchief is an excellent alternative to silk.
It is functional as it keeps sweat from dripping down your back, and keeps you a bit cooler in humid climates.
It is also a little less dramatic than silk. Silk ascots can be hard to pull off if you're afraid of looking like Thurston Howell III. Cotton/linen is a bit more discreet.
Go for simple patterns and basic colours for the first ones. They really shouldn't stand out from the rest of what you're wearing.
For example, a dark blue pin dot neckerchief seems to be quite natural with a lightweight charcoal polo sweater (with or without a the shirt underneath).
Just a thought for those who would like to try, but feel like they might look too affected.

I'm lucky to have two silk weavers in my local town here in the UK.
Can you advise on the dimensions of the neckerchief (length x width) so that I can get a range made up?
