Origin of the Cravat Through naval and continental history
The cravat originates from the Austrian cavalry’s wide linen neckwear known as Cravatte worn before 1636. The term spread as France formed a Royal Cravattes regiment inspired by Croatia. In England the word shifted to a neckerchief after the steamkirk from Steenkerke, leaving today’s neckwear traceable to that evolution.
