College Style Wool Scarves

Ryder & Amies are proud to continue the tradition and manufacture of saxony wool college scarves which trace their origins to early 20th-century British university tradition, when students began wearing long, striped scarves in their college colors as a mark of identity and pride. Saxony wool—valued for its softness, warmth, and fine, tightly spun fibers—quickly became the preferred material, making the scarves both practical for cold, damp campuses and elegant in appearance. Over time, these scarves have become iconic symbols of academic life, with their bold color blocks and classic weave preserving a sense of continuity between generations of students. Today, they remain a cherished blend of heritage, craftsmanship, and collegiate style.  Do you know which Colleges or Institutions these scarves represent?
