regimental tie
Military unit accessory
A regimental tie displays the distinctive diagonal stripes of a British military regiment, traditionally worn by those who served in that unit.
The pattern has been widely adopted in civilian neckwear, where it simply suggests a classic, preppy style without military affiliation: He wore a navy blazer with a regimental tie.
In Britain, wearing a regiment's actual tie without having served can be a faux pas.
