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 Edinburgh

The University of Edinburgh has a wide selection of different academic scarves, largely sorted by department of the university. It also has scarves in university tartan. All Edinburgh scarves (curiously save the university scarf itself) are available from the university's online shop. University of Edinburgh scarves all follow a largely similar pattern of a black background with a wide central stripe, some of which are piped. Interestingly Edinburgh scarves are on the most part for graduates, though there is a university scarf as well.
