Reversible Scarf in Royal Blue and Red Silk Wool Polka Paisley and Glen Check - Fort Belvedere

Once among the princeliest of Classic accessories, scarves are too regularly neglected in modern menswear as buyers turn to boring, dark solid colors or uninteresting patterns, all in cheap materials. Fort Belvedere, however, is eager to revive the grand tradition of colorful and interesting scarves that elevate, and never drag down, your Classic ensembles. Mindful of the fact that scarves are also meant to keep you warm, our scarves are made from only the finest materials and each is perfectly sized to fully insulate your body while allowing for many stylish and visually interesting scarf knots.

To unlock even more styling potential, this scarf is reversible, or, as the British call it, a tubular scarf. As a result, you can effectively benefit from three distinct looks: all of either side individually, or a delightful combination of both. Not only is this a great value, but it can also serve as inspiration for creating new looks that take advantage of a variety of unique scarf knots. 

The length and width of a scarf massively impact not only its look but also how well it functions as an insulator. Most men’s scarves on the market today are 150 cm x 30 cm, or 60” x 12.” This sizing was selected only to save money on costly resources, and as such, it is too short to provide sufficient warmth or protection from the elements.

We extensively researched and tested various scarf lengths to find the perfect dimensions. We found that traditional Scottish scarves were 180 cm x 35 cm, or 72” x 14,” and while the length was ideal, the width felt too stuffy and constricting. Therefore, we settled on the perfect format of 180 cm x 30 cm, or 72” x 12” for all of our scarves: these dimensions provided the perfect union of warmth, coverage, convenience, and styling potential.

Reversible Styling Potential. This scarf is double-sided and features pattern combinations specifically chosen to harmonize well with the widest possible variety of overcoats.

Medium-Weight for the Perfect Look. The weight of this blended fabric was especially set to ensure an ideal union of form of function, being heavy enough to keep you warm but not bulk, so you do not have to sacrifice style. Straddling the middleground makes this scarf an ideal partner for both business suits and overcoats in worsteds, flannels, or tweeds. 

Merino & Silk Blend. Perfectly combining the best characteristics of two of the most popular scarf materials, this scarf is made from 70% finest merino wool and 30% silk. This blended material allows you to enjoy the soft feel of the merino wool on your skin while the silk imparts a subtle luster that is not overly shiny.
