        As he is wearing a flat cap, badge of the working man, I would say it is a neckerchief, which was worn knotted like a tie.

          ooer ... it's thick one side of his neck and thin the other :D

          was he trying to be posh for his photo ? .... no can't be that because he's wearing an old cardie with stuff in the pockets ... s'cuse me while I discuss this with myself !!!! hmmmmm

            hello OC
            I was trying to find a decent version of the pic ... I seem to have dozens of it

            here's one ...

            He was a domestic coachman in Scotland and later in England .. he'd have been abt 70 when this was taken ... I suppose it could have been a 'left over' from his uniform

              this is the only other one I have of him .....
              thought it might be the same neck 'arrangement' ....
              doh ! it's not ....

                I bet he always wore a cravat when he was "on duty" and he got to like it, see how similar it was to his later neck tie.......

                    My Scottish Grandad, a working class man, always wore a "muffler" which was really a thin bit of material - not a tie - which he wore knotted round his neck.

                    For high days and holidays it was the same arrangement, but the muffler was silk. All the men wore them.

                    A cravat is a much fuller thing and is a thin strip of material with thicker, scarf like ends. (A short tie).
