Re cravats... There is a volume by Doriece Colle "Collars, Stocks and Cravats"; White Lions Pub, 1972 that might help. The one she illustrates closest to your time period is as follows: "Ascot suspended from a string tie, c.1875-c.1875" Usually one wide strip of silk forms the whole ascot. A two piece style like this would accommodate a turnover collar." ----- Original Message ----- From: "Melody Watts" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Historical Costume" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, October 30, 2005 3:11 AM Subject: Re: [h-cost] So you want to be Jack the Ripper...
