Fit to Be Tied (Ties)

Description

Rivaled by its precursor the cravat, regional variations like the bolo tie, and the bolo's sophisticated cousin the bow tie, the standard businessman's tie as we know it today was not invented until the '20s. Ever since, it has repeatedly widened and narrowed - and adopted every color and print imaginable in the process. In the '30s, it even received a royal touch when the Duke of Windsor invented a knot that bears his name to this day.
