A staple of 18th-century menswear, the silk neckcloth was a mark of refinement and attention to detail. Typically tied snugly over the shirt collar, it could either fully conceal t he collar or allow the points to extend neatly over the top, depending on personal preference or fashion of the moment. White was by far the most common color, suitable for both civilian and military impressions, and appropriate across a wide range of social classes. Silk neckcloths offered a smoother, more polished appearance than their linen counterparts, making them especially favored for formal dress or by gentlemen of means. This reproduction is made from soft, high-quality silk that ties securely while maintaining a crisp, clean look. The size is 11"x60" Show more
