Information About

Ascot Tie




The ascot is descended from the Cravat . It became a separate entity sometime in the 1880s , when upper-middle-class Europe an men began to wear it on formal morning (i.e. daytime) occasions. One of these events, the Royal Ascot race meeting at the Ascot Racecourse , gave the ascot its name. The ascot was also commonly worn for business in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

In the United States , "ascot" is another name for a Cravat .

In the popular American cartoon '' Scooby-Doo '', Fred "Freddie" Jones sports an orange ascot.
