Today's topic isn't really limited in Japan,

but it applies to many business men in Japan.

So, Rachel bought me some ties from America a few years ago.

And I noticed that the directions of the stripes are different from the ties I've gotten in Japan.

As you can see, most Japanese ties have stripes that go up to the right.

But the ones Rachel gave me from America are all going up to the left.

It's said that Japanese ties are striped this way because Japan imported the culture of suits and ties from UK.

So, British striped ties go up to the right.

These ties are called regimental stripes.

They were supposedly created when the British military decided to get rid of brightly colored military uniforms.

The color combination showed which unit they belonged to.

there seem to be two theories why the stripes changed direction in America as far as I could find.

One is that the American military also decided to adopt the tie,

and wanted to differentiate themselves from the British, and reversed the stripes on the ties.

Another theory is that Brooks Brothers, a traditional men's clothing store,

reversed the directions of ties so as not to offend British clubs and military units,

since wearing the tie of a club or unit that you don't belong to could be offensive.

Anyway, which direction are your tie stripes?

Please let me know in the comment section below.

Wearing a tie on Sunday feels so depressing.
