Drawn from the great Highland regiments — including the Black Watch, the Gordon Highlanders, the Seaforth Highlanders, the Cameron Highlanders, and the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders — the Brigade embodied the martial traditions of the Scottish Highlands at their most formidable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Brigade saw action across some of the most demanding campaigns of the Victorian era. At the Battle of the Alma in the Crimean War (1854), Highland regiments were among the first to storm the Russian positions. In Egypt (1882), they fought at Tel el-Kebir under Sir Garnet Wolseley in a night march and dawn assault that became a model of Victorian military planning. In the Second Boer War, the Highland Brigade suffered one of its darkest hours at the Battle of Magersfontein (1899), where Major General Andy Wauchope was killed leading his men into a devastating Boer ambush — yet the Brigade regrouped and continued to serve with distinction throughout the campaign.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir tartan, their pipes, and their colours remain instantly recognisable — and this tie carries those colours with quiet Highland dignity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Tie\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted by \u003cstrong\u003eBenson \u0026amp; Clegg\u003c\/strong\u003e, London's foremost makers of regimental and club neckwear since 1937, this three-fold silk reppe tie is constructed without an interlining — allowing the silk to drape and knot with exceptional weight and fluidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% silk reppe weave, three-fold construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade width approx. 9.0cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in England\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry clean only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresented in a Benson \u0026amp; Clegg gift box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"FatChimp \u0026 Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57055373295994,"sku":"TIE-MIL1-HIGHLAND","price":75.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0855\/4684\/files\/TIE-066R-BensonAndCleggHighlandBrigadeSilkTie.jpg?v=1783622333","url":"https:\/\/www.fatchimp.co.uk\/products\/highland-brigade-three-fold-silk-reppe-tie","provider":"Fat Chimp Forces Wear \u0026 Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
