The modern necktie is invented in the early 20's maybe late 10's so you can't really get an "Edwardian tie". The modern necktie was invented by schoolboys who got their boater hatband of their hats and tied it. They wore out very quickly because the tie wasn't sown at a 45 degree angel.Thanks. Glad it's not just me! I don't have any vintage ties, partly because I have never found what I'm looking for (I'm really after a more Edwardian look). So do you actually knot the tie before fully attaching the collar? Or just try to work out where the knot will finish? Finally, have you every tried the washable version of this collar? I'm wondering whether that might be a better option for this one...
I'm sorry
