A re-designed ABA tie is now for sale and a scarf will be available soon.  The tie is silk and was made exclusively for the association by Baubridge and Kay. 

Its design draws on the original tie created for the Inns of Court Regiment which was raised in the late 18th Century.  History has it that King George III was impressed by the bearing of the members of the newly formed regiment as it paraded past him. He asked what its origins were and, when told the regiment consisted of barristers, he snorted: ‘Hah! The Devil’s Own!’. 

The name stuck but the regiment was later disbanded. The tie has a regimental stripe of dark blue and dark green with a gold key line and a motif of a barrister’s wig.

The association has also produced cufflinks and bearing the association’s badge.

Silk Tie - $65.00
Cufflinks - $65.00
Key ring – $45.00
