    Where can I buy an RSCDS necktie?

    I'm a Scottish Country Dancer and a member of the RSCDS. I'd like to have an RSCDS "club" tie, but I cannot find one for sale, anywhere. In the picture below, the necktie second from the left (blue, with white bar sinisters and crowns) is the one I am talking about.



    The online shop at the RSCDS website has a bow tie and lightweight and heavyweight neckties, but they are in the RSCDS tartan. Anybody know where I can get what I am looking for?

    That's my ties there!

    I bought that back in the early 1980s when I was an avid RSCDS dancer. I don't know how the time-frame as to when those ties were made or offered for sale.

    As you say the RSCDS site only shows tartan ties. I didn't know there even was an RSCDS tartan.

    Good luck in your search!

    PS if you want my old tie you can have it- it's in very good condition, I never wore it much, and I haven't worn it for many years.

    BUT I had it narrowed! New it came super-wide, the style of the 1970s, but by the 1980s when I bought it narrower ties were in fashion, so I had it altered. It's the current normal width for neckties, pretty much, not the skinny 80s style.
