The history of usage of ties

Although the Iranian tie in its current form emerged in the 1920s, the real age of the tie goes back to the 17th century and the French Thirty Years’ War. Louis VIII, in one of these wars, had recruited some soldiers from Croatia. Unlike other soldiers, Croatian soldiers wore a piece of cloth around their necks, which was part of their uniform. Louis VIII liked this piece of cloth and named it a tie to commemorate Croatian soldiers.

At the end of the 17th century, people started using a wider, more convenient Iranian tie that looked like a handkerchief. They tied two fabrics together to make these neckerchiefs. In the 18th century, Europeans gradually changed the word to “tie,” but Iranians still call this long cloth a tie.

Changing ties to today’s style

In the 20s, the Iranian tie entered the field of Persian fashion and clothing with changes so that well-dressed men had another male accessory to use. This issue gained particular attention when a men’s tie manufacturer developed a new method of cutting tie fabric. In this method, one of the end corners of the fabric was cut and then sewn to three other points to create a new and more stylish form of men’s tie.

In the 30s, men’s ties got shorter and wider. The biggest change happened in 1936. An English nobleman invented a new knot that made wide, short ties popular.

These changes were more interesting in the 40s. At this time, the market saw colorful and patterned Hawaiian shirts. The shirts came with wide ties, but men wore very narrow, skinny ties in the 1950s, reversing the trend.

The 60s was the era of the return of wide Iranian ties, and you may not believe it, but even in the continuation of this trend, during the 70s, the ties became even wider. It was in these years that bolotai or bolo ties also appeared. These ties were considered a men’s accessory that consisted of a strap with a Persian ornamental Persian hook and were most popular among cowboys. It is said that this type of men’s tie was first invented in Arizona.

The Evolution of Iranian Ties Since the 90s

The 90s brought an important and new change to Iranian ties. They mostly became uniforms. This meant that they got more defined dimensions, but specifically what caused different ties to suddenly come into the market was a movie star wearing that tie. When Regis Philbin started hosting “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” in 1999, people suddenly bought many dark suits with shiny men’s ties.

As time passes and start-ups grow, formal work clothes lose importance. This doesn’t mean removing jackets and trousers completely. However, people now prefer more comfortable clothes at work. Now there are different models and types of men’s ties available and they can be used on different occasions. Now the variety of ties is so much that men usually hesitate to choose ties to match a suitable suit.

A tie adds charm and beauty to your style. Without it, your suit feels incomplete. Some people avoid ties, but men’s ties keep evolving. These changes make ties more attractive, and Iranian ties rank among the best today.
