Introduction to the Academic Scarf Registry

The academic scarf traces its roots to the boat clubs of Victorian Oxford and Cambridge. These scarves were initially knitted with horizontal stripes, however the austerity of the second world war led to cheaper production methods where strips of coloured cloth were sewn together, creating the iconic vertical stripes of the modern-day academic scarf. While brightly coloured scarves are not as common a campus feature at British universities today, many universities and colleges still produce scarves.

Richmond, The American International University in London

Of the six private universities in the United Kingdom, Richmond, The American International University in London is the only one to have adopted an academic scarf. There seems to only be one image of it and a link to a website selling it which didn't load.
