Although winter still hasn't arrived in Amsterdam yet, it is cold enough for me to wear a Halstuch (scarf, neckerchief) when I go for a walk. The Russian version of Halstuch - галстук ("galstuk") - wouldn't keep me very warm, however, since a галстук is a tie. In modern German, a tie is called Krawatte (which, by the way, comes from the Croatian word for "Croatian") or, less formally, Schlips.
In Russian, an informal meeting is called a встреча без галстуков ("vstrecha bez galstukov") - literally, a "meeting without ties".
