Now it would be sacrilege to attend the most gentlemanly sport without an original take on the very first sporting tie invented in 1880 by Oxford University students. When rowers took of their boater hat bands and tied them around their necks four in hand to celebrate their win, they accidentally created the first sporting tie. The original colours are, black, red and gold symbolising, ‘out of darkness, through fire, into light’. I had this tie specially made by Michelsons- London tie makers since 1937.

Sorry, looks like a poorly drawn map of Texas.
