Ascot Issues
I've been wanting to purchase some ascots like these, but I'm not sure how to tie them in that sort of bow. I've looked at a lot of tutorials and played around with some fabric at home, but the closest I have come to the look of this is just tying a regular bow (now a bow tie, just like one would tie a bow with ribbon).
I have searched for just about everything under the sun, too, but I'm not getting a straight answer for what this knot is called. Maybe what I'm looking at isn't exactly period, but I have seen similar knots in paintings, so it shouldn't be too far off. Of course, it doesn't help that there seems to be no agreement on the difference between an ascot and a cravat, so I'm doubling my search with every term I can think of.
At any rate, I was hoping some of you knowledgeable individuals might be able to tell me how to do this, or point me toward the correct terminology. Any hints would be appreciated.
