A Selection of Neckerchiefs


I know that some men do not think neckerchiefs are for them, preferring to remain open collared rather than risk questions about their neckwear from less sophisticated acquaintances. Nonetheless, new on the ASW store this week are three new colorways of Simonnot-Godard's Sirius neckerchief, a perfect complement to open collars in warm weather as the cotton absorbs moisture that might otherwise stain a shirt.

The neckerchiefs are not alone. There are also a very small re-supply of the Simonnot-Godard sky blue voile shirting that has been out of stock for months and espresso brown Taurillon Galuchat belts. There should have been much more as we were slammed with deliveries last week in anticipation of the four month European vacation that is about to begin, however I managed to acquire a violent head cold in Manhattan (how one gets a head cold in 95 degree [35C] heat is beyond me) and my productivity has suffered greatly. We will try to catch up by month-end.

Get better, Will. Really appreciated your quick shipping on the moiré braces. Got them just in time for the film premiere!

Go to bed, Will. I second the great service ASW provides. Second to none. Brilliant.

I suspect you got the cold on the plane. As the saying goes, when you catch a cold, if you go to the doctor, you'll be better in two weeks. On the other hand, if you do nothing, you'll be better in fourteen days.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

I'd like to see the neckerchief return more widely because to be honest I also feel a bit self-conscious wearing one in a minority. When I do it tends to look either like a 70s film director or a bulky cravat.

What am I doing wrong?

btw, a cold - being a virus - is active all year round.

What is the difference between an ascot & a neckerchief?

Will said...

A neckerchief is a folded square of silk worn tied.

An ascot is a more complex pice of cloth worn in a puff at the collar.

I need some help here. 'She who must be obeyed' (wife) would like to see someone other than I, wearing a 'neckerchief'. Some help please.

I am 25 and broke as a joke. With that said, I am going to buy all 3 of the new colours as soon as I have a few dollars. Can't wait.
