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.

The University of Dundee

Ede & Ravenscroft sells three different scarves from the University of Dundee, two for faculties (Education and Arts/Social Sciences) and one for the university. Compared to other universities - particularly in Scotland - where every faculty is graced with a scarf this appears somewhat lacking.
