Poppies Cravat tie. Floral print ascot, microfiber. The poppy, papaver somniferum, is a symbol of wartime remembrance; poppies are used as emblems on tombstones to symbolize eternal sleep.The opium poppy was cultivated in lower Mesopotamia as long ago as 3400 BC. Print falls near where the knot or bib fold would be. Printed on one side. The ascot, or cravat, is the ancestor to the modern necktie. There are countless ways to tie an ascot - they can be tied four-in-hand as one would tie a regular, long necktie, or more traditionally with one less step, leaving the bib un-tucked - with or without a pin. It's up to you, your taste, and occasion! We've printed on one side so you can show as much (or as little) of the printed design as you choose.
