Men's Accessories

A collection of traditionally-styled accessories including cotton handkerchiefs, silk ties and leather designs reflecting originals from the 19th and early-20th centuries. The modern tie evolved from the more elaborate cravat which had been worn since the 17th century. By 1900 bow ties and ascots were also sported. A New York tie maker, Jessie Langsdorf invented a new way of cutting the fabric when constructing a tie, which allowed the tie to spring back into its original shape after each wearing.
