Frank wore only an ermine hood, a B.A.’s gown, and loose, unremarkable clothes, subfusc today, with the Corinthian tie which alternated with the Carthusian, week in, week out.

A Carthusian tie refers to Charterhouse, originally The Hospital of King James and Thomas Sutton in Charterhouse, or more simply Charterhouse, is an English collegiate independent boarding school (also referred to as a public school) situated at Godalming in Surrey. (Wiki)

We are not sure about the Corinthian tie, but the best guess would be this:

The Corinthian junior football club, now merged with Casuals football club into Corinthian-Casuals.

“He was sacked my first half. “”
