Ascot

Designer Charvet Chemisier

Not on view

Neckwear of the late 19th century was generally chosen to add color to the otherwise somber suit. This ascot, with its vibrant plum and subdued black pinstripes, is a high quality example of elegant men's neckwear of the period. It is in its original state with a detachable collar and the initials of the donor's husband inside.
