We’ve just got back from our stand at the Goodwood Revival, and what a weekend! This year was our 12th at the event, which is always a wonderful opportunity to meet customers old and new. Despite battling the high winds and frequent downpours over the 3 days, it couldn't have gone better for us as we received an overwhelming amount of interest in our silk accessories, gaining a lot of new customers and cravat converts. Trackside and right by the action, we were always busy with people curious about what we had to offer. Spotting celebrities and admiring outfits while the roar of engines continued in the background - it could only be Goodwood! Some of our customers were kind...
Whether haughty, smouldering or wicked, the cravat is usually shorthand for something. Many romantic leads and iconic villains have had one of these fabulous garments draped around their neck, implying something about their character. Whether to represent upper-class airs and graces, stuffed-shirt formality or dangerously decadent style, the ascot tie has been used to wonderful effect. But what characters come most to mind when you think of a cravat? Below are some strong examples from fiction to help you see the versatility of the cravat, and how iconic a garment can become when worn by the right character. Phoenix Buchanan Hugh Grant sends himself up as both an aging leading man, and an archetypal British villain in the wonderful Paddington...
Goodwood Revival is right around the corner!

When it comes to style, accessories are everything. Little touches that draw the eye, or a statement piece that makes the whole outfit - having some favourite pieces to hand will always be worth your time and investment. But how to get the best out of them, and which to choose? Now, we love ties, but we feel that cravats have the edge in almost every department. Let us count the ways… 1. Comfort of wear Many men find ties restrictive and uncomfortable. We see why - to wear a necktie effectively requires a closed shirt collar, which is unavoidably snug. While looking smart and well put together, this ubiquitous piece can chafe and irritate. This is where a cravat...
When it comes to fashion, choice is good. In honour of the latest edition of Pitti Uomo in Florence in June this year, which drew to a close recently, we want to explore the joy that dressing well can bring a man, and how many aspects of life that touches. While that might seem frivolous, we’d argue that dressing well is the foundation of feeling good. Having an array of accessories to match your mood can help you feel like you’ve really nailed your outfit, and can truly make a difference to how your day goes.
