Tartan Plaid Ties & Cravats

There is no better accessory than a tartan tie. Elevate a button-down shirt, add flair to a plain-colored suit, and celebrate your Scottish heritage with this stylish piece. A tie is a long piece of cloth worn around the neck, under the collar, and tied with a knot at the front. With various tartan tie knots to explore, you can perfect your look. Our tartan ties are made from high-quality acrylic wool, cut on the bias to showcase the vibrant pattern in all its glory, offering a bold yet traditional touch to any outfit.

A typical cravat is around 40-50 inches in length, allowing enough fabric to tie it into a neat, adjustable knot while still providing a stylish drape.

Wondering how to style your tartan tie? The options are endless! You can coordinate or contrast your tartan tie with a plain-colored shirt for a classic look, or mix and match with different tartans and patterns for a bolder statement. If you're not pairing your tartan tie with a kilt, keep the bottom half casual with jeans, chinos, or shorts, and leave the tie loosely knotted for a relaxed vibe. Add a blazer in the evening to elevate your look. For a more formal touch, choose tartans with subtle base colors like black, blue, or grey, which pair perfectly with a suit, allowing you to showcase your Scottish heritage with style.

To tie a cravat, fold it in half lengthwise, place it around your neck, and cross the ends over. Then, tie the ends in a knot, adjust it to your desired position, and make sure it sits comfortably.

The tip of your tie should rest just above your belt buckle. Achieving the right length is crucial, as ties that are too short or too long can throw off your look. If your tie isn’t the right length, simply untie it and try again. With a little practice, you'll get it just right!

To care for our acrylic wool tartan ties, hand wash them in lukewarm water using a gentle laundry detergent specifically designed for wool fabrics. Proper handling will extend the life of your tie, so be sure to gently undo the knot—avoiding any force that could damage the fabric. After untying, either hang the tie to maintain its shape or roll it loosely and store it in a small drawer compartment to prevent wrinkles. Following these simple steps will help preserve your tie's quality and appearance.
