cravat. The modern cravat, another word for “necktie,” was originally a huge colorful linen or muslin scarf edged with lace and worn knotted loosely around the neck. The scarves were introduced into France by mercenaries enlisted in the royal Croatian regiment during the Thirty Years War (1618–48). French men and women, impressed by such sartorial splendor, adopted the scarves, tying them with long flowing ends and calling them cravats, after the French word (Cravate), for “Croatian.” Croatia was part of Austria at the time. |
