necktie

David Ring

Drawing made by David Ring for the visualisation of the Europeana Fashion Thesaurus. The description of the concept in this drawing is: Rather long, narrow lengths of soft material worn about the neck, usually under a collar, tied in front into a knot, loop, or bow and often with the two ends falling free vertically. For neckcloths of fine cloth wound around the neck, usually over the shirt, and tied in front into a bow or knot, use "cravats." (AAT)
