You might be surprised to learn that the Repp tie was not named after its stripes. We named it after the tightly ribbed silk used to make it, which the French call Rep fabric. According to our in-house historian, Kelly Stuart, the extra âpâ was added by mistake, yet evolved to become a distinct mark of the tie.
Each regiment decided on their own, what tie to wear with a different stripe going across the tie in a pattern of colors and stripe width. With this need to be individual the Rep Stripe necktie was born. Across the Atlantic American soldiers followed suite, however the stripes go the other way. The distinction between the European Rep Stripe tie vs. American Rep Stripe tie is simple enough. The difference is the direction of the stripe from the left shoulder crossing the heart or from the right shoulder crossing the heart.
