TIES OF A DIFFERENT STRIPE
With the introduction of the reverse-stripe rep tie in 1902, we continued our tradition of being untraditional. Defying convention is in the fabric of our brand. Take, for example, one of our most popular and enduring style innovations: the striped rep tie.

Its origins
stem from the UK’s regimental stripe ties of the turn of the twentieth century.
The stripes were angled from left to right, or from “heart to sword,” in a nod
to their fighting roots. As social clubs and boarding schools adopted the
trend, the look was increasingly fashionable among civilians.
The
Democratization of an Icon
Brooks
Brothers decided to open the style to every man—to Americanize it, you could
say—and we boldly separated form from meaning by inverting the direction of the
stripes, to instead go from right to left. This act of fashion rebellion gave
birth to a new style icon.
The striped
rep tie has been a favorite of everyone from U.S. presidents to pop-art stars.
Today, its fan base is as varied as the accessory itself, extending beyond the
military and the Ivy League elite to the businessman in search of the perfect
statement piece to wear in the boardroom.
