Ascot ties and accessories from Krefeld

Ascot is a German accessories label with a long tradition in high-quality ties. The family business traces its origins to 1908, when Karl Moese founded a company with the ambition of producing beautifully made neckwear. The Ascot name came later, after his son Erwin visited the Ascot horse races in England and felt the name suited the brand.

The company remains connected to Krefeld, a German city historically associated with silk and velvet. Ascot states that its ties are still made in its own Krefeld workshop. Knowledge has passed through the family, with a consistent idea at its centre: a tie should knot well, feel comfortable and be carefully finished.

The collection extends beyond formal business dressing. Classic and knitted ties, bow ties, pocket squares, scarves, cravats, braces and accessories for evening events or weddings all belong to the brand's world. A small accessory can refine an understated suit or bring a personal accent to a celebration outfit.

Silk ties with thoughtful construction

A good tie depends on more than colour and pattern. Ascot describes a production process with fifteen different steps. The outer fabric, lining, shape and proportions need to work together so the tie hangs cleanly and forms a balanced knot. Different interlinings allow the construction to be adapted to the properties of the chosen fabric.

Silk has an important role in the range, although some designs also use wool, cotton or linen. Lighter textures create a more relaxed impression, while deeper colours and richer structures add weight to a formal combination. Check the exact composition of each item, because appearance alone does not tell you which material has been used.

Which Ascot tie suits your outfit?

Start with the occasion. For a work appointment, a plain tie or a small pattern is usually a versatile, polished choice. A wedding or evening event allows more room for a richer colour, subtle sheen or complementary pocket square. A patterned shirt generally benefits from a calmer tie, while a plain shirt gives pattern and texture more space.

Consider the tie width alongside the jacket's lapels. A narrower tie often works well with a slimmer suit, while a broader design suits more classic proportions. The knot should also relate to the collar: a compact knot works with a smaller opening, whereas a fuller knot needs more room.

Styling an Ascot accessory

Aim for harmony instead of an exact colour match. A tie can pick up a shade from the shirt, suit or pocket square without copying it. Different textures make a tonal outfit more interesting, such as a smooth shirt with a visibly textured tie.

For a special occasion, bring the shirt and jacket into the decision if you can. Looking at all three together helps you judge pattern scale, colour and proportion. Our team can help you create a combination that feels personal and well balanced, whether the occasion is a wedding, dinner or business event.

Caring for ties and delicate fabrics

Undo the knot gently after wearing. Pulling a tie forcefully through its knot can stress the fibres and shape. Let it hang or roll it loosely for storage. If a stain appears, follow the material's care instructions and avoid experimenting with water or strong cleaning products on silk. Appropriate care protects the finishing as well as the fabric.
