BB#1 Rep Tie

The classic Rep tie dates to the early 20th century when Britain donned their regimental ties with left-to-right stripes to represent heart to sword. They quickly caught on with the boarding school and social club set. And in 1902 we Americanized the style by switching the direction of the stripes in a nod to every-man democracy. Today the BB#1 pattern made from silk expertly woven in Italy, is an enduring classic having graced the collars of our biggest pop-art stars and presidents for over a century.

The History

Classic rep ties date back to the early 20th century when British military donned their regimental ties with left-to-right diagonal stripes to represent heart to sword, nodding to their fighting roots. The style quickly caught on with civilians in the boarding school and social club set. In 1902 Brooks Brothers Americanized the style by switching the direction of the stripes.
