No disrespect btw, but I can't seem to find an ascot tie within the video. These are all cravats only.

[gsbohn]

@Gardash111 Hence, the name of the video. LOL

[Gardash111]

@gsbohn

Not be an a'hole, but you mention ascot's in info.

[gsbohn]

@Gardash111 Touche~ LOL

WOW! Love these classy men... There is nothing like a man well dressed....

Now a days the cool look is the baggy jeans dropped under their butts... they think they look so hot... they look like they've pooped themselves and are proud to carry it around...lol

But these men are the creme of the creme... Thanks so much for sharing this video... Big fan of the Foresyte Saga Series... Loved it!

@Woodlander65 You sound handsomely dressed that way. Can't blame you on the cravat, but it sure does all of us women who that time period weak in the knees. LOL. We covet men with cravats. LOL

[Gardash111]

There's a big difference between a cravat and an ascot tie. The cravat is a croatian neckband - a piece of cloth tied in a certain way.

The ascot tie arrives much later and is a special sort of cravat. Generally orginally used with morningcoats, and later appeared in Hollywood films. It's that puffy piece of cloth beneath an open collar.

With an ascot tie (= easy put: a tie with 2 wide ends) tie a four-in-hand knot, and pull over the bridge, not through it. That's an ascot.

Thumbs up pls.

Rupert Friend and Rupert Penry Jones are sporting the best Cravats in my view.

@navylaks2 I think the ascot it the name of the knot and how the neckpiece is worn.

Aw this makes me sad you didn't include the scarlet pimpernel.

"la, but someone has to strike a pose and bear the weight of well-tailored clothes..."

[Woodlander65]

Of course there was the woman's equivelent of the Cravat that was as equally as fetching, its a silk handkerchief round her neck and crossed in front, you see it with Justine Waddell in Tess of the Durbervilles and have read it in several novel's as part of a woman's dress as well, it's very agreeable and pleasant on a woman.

@Woodlander65 LOL!!

At least you can wear the waistcoat. You're halfway there with that. I'll have to tell the girls on my forum that there's a guy out there that might someday consider a cravat. LOL . . . swooners, all.
