Ties - A Brief History

The earliest Ties

The earliest examples of neckwear appear in ancient Assyria and Egypt, which used more than a hundred different terms for types variously described as a band or strap, depending on their uses. The Old Testament contains many references to knotty cravats, but it is scarves that have the more significant cultural significance. Renaissance painters such as Titian and Giorgione depicted gentlemen wearing scarves with embroidered badges, an early form of insignia worn by soldiers and knights.

Types of Ties

Wear a knitted tie to work to make a subtle statement that leaves your audience wondering what's so special about you and whether they're missing out on something. Opt for a sober design, such as Custom made, and you'll often be taken more seriously by your peers. Also, ensure they are finely woven, superbly soft materials that feel like silk against your skin. For those who want to walk down the more fashionable route, Silk Ties have become more prevalent in recent years and come in various designs that match almost any of today's work outfits. Some designs use eco fabrics instead of woven for practical purposes but provide a quality appearance which gives them an instant quality endorsement. Finally, for people looking for a classy look that's instantly appealing, try silk ties which add an extra touch of class to any shirt combination worn with them.

Club Tie Custom Designs

Buying Custom Tie Designs is common for business people who want to stand out from the crowd; typically, Club Tie custom designs will feature a logo and/or brand name, but many also like to include their favourite colour in their tie design. Although the options are essentially limitless, a skilled designer can often come up with something that falls outside of what you thought was possible when deciding on your design, which is why hiring someone with experience is usually essential if you're trying to do something particularly complex. A great way of finding suitable tie designs would be to browse through the hundreds of finished projects featured on our newest website McDade Club Ties.

Though ties are commonly worn only in matters of business and after-hours social gatherings, a Tie symbolises the real pleasure attached to any occasion. Ties have come a long way for centuries, transforming from small strips of cloth to sharp fashion accessories essential for Clubs, Schools, and the corporate workplace.
