Ascot tie

The casual form is made from a thinner woven silk that is more comfortable when worn against the skin, often with ornate and colourful printed patterns.

The ascot is descended from the earlier type of cravat widespread in the early 19th century, most notably during the age of Beau Brummell, made of heavily starched linen and elaborately tied around the neck.

The ascot was still commonly worn for business with morning dress in the late 19th and very early 20th centuries.

[citation needed] Pararescue trainees (upon completion of extended training day) are given a blue ascot.

Likewise the Royal Danish Army employs an ascot for the ceremonial version of the barrack dress, its colors vary between each company.
