Double Pointed Ascots

Men’s Ascots & Cravats - The ascot tie can be considered the forerunner to the modern tie or bow tie. Emerging from the cravat in the late 19th century, it became popular when the European elite began wearing cravats in a more relaxed manner. Though cravats and ascots are quite similar, they can often be confused. To differentiate, one might describe the ascot tie as an untied cravat that you knot yourself. While the cravat resembles a conventional tie, the ascot's knot is more akin to a partially completed tie knot. Tying an ascot in this fashion is known as creating a ‘day cravat,’ typically worn under the shirt collars for weddings and everyday events. At John Henric, we favour the ascot, which is why we exclusively produce these, always crafted from 100% silk and, naturally, made in Italy. Recently, ascots, along with silk scarves, have seen a resurgence in popularity. While they pair perfectly with a suit, ascots can also be stylishly combined with a blazer or denim jacket. The ascot tie is an excellent choice for those who find tight collars and tie knots uncomfortable and prefer a more relaxed style.

Purchase Men’s Double Pointed Ascots Online

John Henric provides the opportunity to purchase double pointed ascots and cravats online, offering one of the most extensive selections of Italian-made ascot ties available online. If you prefer to shop in Europe, you are welcome to visit one of our stores for a unique, personalised service, or you can conveniently purchase your ascot online at johnhenric.com. The ascot should be tied by hand. It can be styled like a cravat for formal occasions or worn more casually as a ‘day cravat’ under the shirt collar. A double pointed ascot is worn close to the skin, often in areas where you may have facial hair, so it is crucial to select an ascot that is printed rather than jacquard or woven. This prevents threads from being pulled and your cravat from being damaged after only a few wears. That’s why John Henric exclusively offers printed silk double pointed ascots.
