Bought this for a new costume I'm working up for waltzing around Diagon Alley in Universal Studios. The design has a Slytherinesque green vine-like pattern on a dark background that turns purple and black when the light hits it just right, as it will in Knockturn Alley.

Excellent. Also great for a "Lestat" vibe methinks (the book's Rutger Hauer look-alike, not the film's Vampire O'Higgins thing perpetrated by Tom "one-accent" Cruise). Steampunky too.

Wossa cravat then, precious?

Glad you asked, Smeagol. The cravat is like a necktie except it has wide ends and a thin middle. You can wear them like a scarf on the neck, or like a tie around the collar. Work around the neck, they can be displayed inside the shirt or outside. Huge stickpins with elaborate designs can also be in order.

Anyway. A cool neck adornment. Five stars.
