Which Mystery Inc. member wears an ascot?

The story behind the answer

Which Mystery Inc. member wears an ascot? Fred Jones wears the team’s signature orange ascot.

Fred’s neckwear is one of his most recognizable visual features, alongside his blond hair, blue shirt, white sweater, and dark trousers. Although it can resemble a scarf or neckerchief in some drawings, reference works identify the garment as an ascot.

Fred is usually portrayed as Mystery Inc.’s practical leader and the group’s trap designer. The original gang—Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby-Doo—travels in the Mystery Machine, investigates supposedly supernatural cases, and usually exposes an ordinary culprit in disguise.

The ascot is particularly associated with the classic late-1960s design. Costumes and later incarnations sometimes alter the details, but Fred remains the canonical answer; Daphne, Velma, and Shaggy are not identified by wearing one.
