I bought this for my son who loves cravats . I wanted a cotton one for the summer. The cravat came very quickly . My son loves ed it. I do agree with other people that it is thinner than normal cravats so it does not cover whole neck.

This awesomely simple piece of clothing adds to any 19th century outfit, be it early or even late century, regency as well as late victorian. It is long enough to be tied in different ways to add some variety to your style. I have both silk/satin ties/ascots as well as this cravat, but if you are not so much a fan of satin and silk, this is a great simple alternative. The colour is wonderful, I also ordered one in black, the price is just great!

Very pleased with both of the cravats that I received. Nicely rounds out my impression. I expect the Historical Emporium will soon be hearing from other members of my unit.

This cravat has a great tobacco / brown mustard colour. I was very pleased.

Brilliant colour, comfortable on the neck and versatile.

Nice weight fabric. The color was what I was hoping it would be: a true dried golden tobacco leaf color. Great service too!

Just what the well dressed cowboy needed

I am pleased with the acquisition. The color was a little darker than I expected but still suitable. I will order from you again.

Arrived in a timely manner and product was as described.

This bright red cotton cravat is simple, classic, and perfect!

It has quality material I love it it's great for my casual gothic victorian attire definitely worth a purchase.

We are happy with the purchase. The cravat is the perfect addition to my husband's Victorian gentleman's outfit for our Historic Christmas tour. Thanks - We will shop here again.

Great piece for my Doctor Who cosplay!

Historical Emporium always seems to come to the rescue for authentic but hard-to-find details that make a costume for fun or performance PERFECT! Most importantly - the customer service is SUPERB!

I bought both the red and black cravats. I like them both and wear them more than I anticipated. Not only do they work well as described on the website--although it is a little short if you wear a low-cut waistcoat--but they also work as a summer scarf to protect the back of your neck and as a lighter four-in-hand tie. The only draw back may be that the red one is very red. My wife says it makes me look like a Young Pioneer.

Amazing product, works well with the outfit I am making.

Like every product I've bought on here, this is of great quality, durable and practical. It goes well with my hat.

While I won't be wearing this item myself, due to failure of concept on my part, I still think it's a fantastic piece and perfect for any sort of revolutionary, whether they be French or Vox Populi.

Arrived in a timely manner and product was as decribed.

This accessory is simple, cheap, and effective. The cravat can be knotted and tied and so many ways, as to imply limitless uses. These particular cravats look amazing, the quality is great, and I cannot say enough good things about them. Being as it is, it does crease quite easily, so an ironing before or after each wearing would be recommended to maintain that sharp, crisp appearance.

Love the two I purchased - one black and one red. I am really going to enjoy wearing them!

I am really happy to be able to wear this style of tie at work. It is comfortable, well cut and adds an undeniable touch of elegance. I highly recommend it for your ensemble.

It's a great tie, nice quality, the item was shipped quickly, and looks great with my shawl collar vest. Everyone was impressed.

Good quality, easy to tie, looks smart.

Light weight, versitile, goes with pretty much everything. I love this cravat, and moreover, it seems so does everyone else. A fine product, no Gentleman should be without.

It was nice just what I ordered Thanks

I received exactly what I purchased, very quickly. I'm no expert on this kind of item, but it seems to be very high quality.

The 'How To' video helped us to make this is a perfect accompaniment to the Sinclair Edwardian shirt.

Nice product, was exactly what I needed to finish off my costume.

nice item...but if you have a larger neck..this is way way to small to even consider tying it as shown in example. There is no way you can wrap it twice around your neck, even wrapping it once and trying to tie it is difficult

Exactly what was required for our display.

Great quality cravat. Not some fly by night product.

I like it, there are a few different ways to tie a cravat. If I tie it traditional Victorian, I end up with about 6' on either end. If I don't wrap it around and a single knot, bring it up from behind its OK.

Satisfied!

Funny, I figured that a piece of fabric wouldn't be such a big deal. I purchased this for an event at Sutter's Fort with my child's school. It was comfortable and looked nice. The website showed be how to correctly tie it, and I was complimented by the staff on the proper look. I am very satisfied.

So glad it's not polyester. Very nice.

Colors are rather unimaginative. Cotton actually works better than my silk version, and better than my synthetic version, as it holds its bow shape better. Cotton washes and presses easily.

I am quite pleased with the quality and value of the cravat. While the length is not enough to be tied as a traditional tie (twice-wrapped fully round the collar) the cravat works perfectly well as displayed in the advert. I have worn it only one day into the office, and it is getting plenty of positive attention.

Again like others have stated, way too short.

Very well made and stylish Victorian tie. I used it for a publicity shot for my book "Sherlock Holmes and the Autumn of Terror."

Very, very pleased with this tie! It arrived quickly (faster than expected). Material is solid, and clasp is similar to bow-ties you get with tuxedo rentals, so it's easy to adjust. Works perfectly with a banded collar shirt and is a great touch with a Scully vest (see related review). This is great for costumes and a perfect addition for an authentic looking Old West outfit.

Purchased for a person who does Victorian reenactments. It's high-quality, perfectly stitched, I looked it over carefully before giving as a gift....the recipient said the puff tie fit comfortably, and this guy doesn't even care to wear ties! Said it was so comfortable around the neck, he forgot he was wearing it for a few hours!!! Comes in a nice package, the little diamond-type tie tack is a nice touch. He said he had many compliments on the tie! And has thanked me over and over for the puff tie! : )

I bought this for a black tie event, but sadly never got the chance to wear it out. Life happened, and had to back out at the last minute. That being said it's well made. The tie tack is a nice touch, and it looks sharp with a vest and a white shirt. The fact that it buckles is nice...i have no idea how to tie a tie like this. Shipping was much faster than anticipated. Got it almost a full week before the projected delivery time. Would definitely shop this store again.

Love it!

It was great. Went well with my husband's frock coat and vest.

Exactly what was needed and even better than expected

Great Tie for the Event-- and true to fit my fat 20" neck Thank you

This tie is exactly what I was hoping for! Excellent quality and appearance!

This is such a lovely addition to the vest and shirt we bought.

Part of a late 1800's bank teller/shop keeper ensemble I'm putting together. Matched it with a Sinclair Edwardian Club Collar Shirt. Nice look.

Made better than expected for a trim item. Worth the price.

Purchased the black puff tie to go with my burgundy vest as part of my period attire portraying Henry Flagler as a tour guide in Saint. Augustine Florida. Very good quality and perfect look. I recommend

Perfect & so easy to put on. Loved that the tie pin was of nice quality. It was not just cheap plastic.

This is just the start of my western ensemble. An "urban cowboy" now, I was raised country, with work boots, slopping the hogs, and a simpler life that I really miss today. Historical Emporium brought back a sense of those days with this cotton neckerchief. Often confused for a bandanna, the cowboy neckerchief was a larger and sturdier bit of gear. Like the shemagh, it has a large number of uses, from shade in the summer to warmth in the winter. Big enough to pull over your nose, it hides the highwayman's identity, but could just as easily keep sand out of your snooter on a dusty trail. Since I've gotten this fine piece of fashion, I've worn it just about everywhere (I'm at the age where I honestly don't care what anybody thinks) and have had several questions about it and even a few compliments. So, I'm a fan of both this neckerchief and Historical Emporium. I look forward to my next purchase!

I purchased on of the scarves and I simply couldn't be happier! It's exactly as advertised. I'll be purchasing many more items from this wonderful store!!

I love everything about it. I have always wanted one and was lucky to have found the Historical Emporium.

I bought this for my husband, and he really likes it. It's just what he wanted.

Soooo pretty and included the diamond stud. Colour really shows the pattern and looks and feels very luxurious.

Absolutely beautiful and perfect. Fast delivery.

I wanted a Puff Tie because I'm working on a Doc Holliday outfit. This tie worked perfectly. Shipping was fast, and I received it about 4 days after ordering! Exactly as described. Great value!

Perfect

This tie matches the photo exactly. Exactly what I wanted.

This "Tie" was exactly the item I was looking for! the color was perfect! as an added bonus it came with small "gold, faux diamond" stud, I had several ask if it was a real diamond!! I am very impressed with every item, I purchased!

Love it and it is so great looking in real life.

Great color, nice quality.

5 stars for quality, selection, price and delivery time!

nice quailty

I love it...

High quality and quick delivery.

This product was exactly as promised. It was shipped quickly and was just what was needed to complete his outfit.

Awesome tie! It provides just enough style to accent your wardrobe without being all uppity. As a circuit rider, I wear the plain black canvas vest, trousers, and coat. It is the perfect accent when I'm not wearing a clerical collar. The fabrics all have that natural, rustic appearance that adds authenticity to the look. Absolutely love it as with everything I buy from HE!!

This is a very simple tie... but it's quite nice, and it came with a nice tie-tac.

This Tie as well with my Black Hills Vest Taupe and Sinclair Edwardian Club Collar Shirt - White was a hit in South Dakota two weeks ago. My wife and I won the western dress up contest on the 1880 Train Ride in South Dakota. The cloths were defiantly talked about on how nice and well they fit that era.

This tie looks great with anything! My husband and I were really impressed with how nice it looks! Thanks!

The product is of high quality and was delivered promptly.

Looks much better in person!

I ordered the tie with the red canvas vest...It was an unexpected "plus" for my grandson, and he couldn't wait to try it on. The tie and vest look great together.

The tie arrived earlier than expected and looks great. My first order and certainly not my last!

I'm very happy with my tie, perfect!

Ended up looking more stupid than rich.

It fits a wide range of necks. Looks sharp.

Received my black puff tie in the mail very quickly. The tie is very elegant. I enjoy wearing it to church. I get many complements. Back in the day, this would be essential for a gentleman to wear.

not at all impressed - seemed very sub standard material - unfitting to go with the higher quality vest - I would have been very disappoint had t cost half as much - as is - feel poorly used.

Love this tie. I have a large neck and it fits with room to spare. Perfect accessory with any vest.

Purchased this tie along with a shirt and red Duncan vest. Very nice tie. complimented my outfit well. would definitely purchase another

This tie adds to the wing tip shirt perfectly. It comes with the little stud. It stayed in place, and was adjustable.

Amending earlier comment... Although the tie was really nice, I did not realize a diamond tie tack came with it, so I ordered a pearl tie tack to go with the tie. Either I missed something or it needs to be pointed out that the tie comes with a tie tack.

It was a really nice tie. One problem was that it was hard to keep the adjustment clip from sliding and altering the size. I had to add a small safety pin for it to stay in place.

Looks great, sewn tied, adjustable fastener becomes loose during use

The Material is exactly what I expected. The Lengh of the Puff tie is perfect too! The only reason for 4 stars is because the Puff tie itself is a PAIN to get on! So whatever you do PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE with the adjustment parts so you can get that perfect fit every time. Make sure you also purchase a shirt that has a tab in the back to slip the buckle into, or else it will eventually ride up your neck and will become loose and you'll look ridiculous. But if you are looking for a sharp black puff tie, purchase this one and you will not be dissapointed! :)

I had hoped the material would have been a little less stiff and the stick pin was hideous.

Looks great

Adds a lot to a outfit. This is my first Puff Tie.... Love the color

Beautiful ties & many favorable comments!!!

This Puff Tie is Great, LOVE the colour. The included tie pin is not too bad, though very plain. Fits well, wears well and looks good! Highly recommended.

Looks great and I get compliments on this tie all the time.

The Satin Puff arrived on time and is great. He will look great at Prom! It looks splendid with the Dragon Fire vest in Silver and Black!

Simple and adjustable. This fit me quite well and was comfortable the entire day. I highly recommend it to be worn with a vest/waist coat.
