Mens Neckties – History

November 3 , 2009 Posted by Fashion Style Gurus In: Men's Fashion, Neckties

In one form or another men’s neckties have been around for centuries. What started out with Chinese warriors and Roman soldiers has through history become the necktie of today. Cravats worn by European gentleman in the 1700’s are closely linked to today’s ties.

Today’s modern neckties are attributed to Jesse Langsdorf who patented the all-weather wrinkle-free tie in 1920. After World War II men began to take an interest in their fashion. Ties were being introduced in bold geometric designs using silk and rayon fabrics. Ties of this time were worn at up to a five inch width. In the 50’s ties started to thin down somewhat and were called Slim-Jim ties by some, with some of these being nothing more than bootlaces worn as ties. In the 60’s the tie became again wider sometimes seen in widths of 5 or 6 inches and in psychedelic designs.
