My husband and I currently enjoy the TV series "Mad Men," plays the beginning of 1960. I notice that the stripes point to the ties of the gentlemen from top left to bottom right. Today you only see the stripes from lower left to upper right. When the trend has changed? Jennifer H., via e-mail
What They see "Mad Men" are so-called U.S. ties with stripes. When the Americans began after the Second World War to emancipate itself from the traditional men's fashion from the UK and to develop their own style, it seemed to change than the first direction of the typical British regimental stripes on the tie. They did this to get the English, not in the way their strips quite different meanings and some are worn only by members of certain clubs, universities or units may. Until now, Americans have remained at 180 degrees rotated cut of the silk, but because they are not similar in the clothing are much like casual wear, see these exceptional quality that we hardly ever.
