The Ceylon Mounted Rifles

The Ceylon Mounted Rifles was a volunteer cavalry regiment raised in British Ceylon (modern-day Sri Lanka) during the late 19th century. Formed to provide a mobile defence force for the island, the regiment drew its officers and men from the colonial planting and merchant communities — men who knew the terrain and were accustomed to the saddle. Though relatively short-lived as a mounted unit, the CMR represented the spirit of colonial volunteerism and the broader tradition of Imperial light cavalry that served across the British Empire's far-flung territories.

Today, the regiment's tie is a rare piece of neckwear history — worn by those with a connection to Ceylon, Sri Lanka, or simply a deep appreciation for the lesser-known corners of British military heritage.

About the Tie

Handcrafted by Benson & Clegg, London's foremost makers of regimental and club neckwear since 1937, this three-fold silk reppe tie is made without an interlining — allowing the silk to drape and knot with exceptional weight and fluidity.

  • 100% silk reppe weave, three-fold construction
  • Blade width approx. 8.5cm
  • Made in England
  • Dry clean only
  • Presented in a Benson & Clegg gift box
