Neckties Through Centuries A Fashion Chronicle
The article traces neckwear from 1600s Croat victory, cravats named by French, through lace and solitaire bows, to 19th century soft neckties. It notes Beau Brummell's knotting display, the Oriental bow, and shifts to string ties and four-hands. It ends with questions about the tie’s purpose and its decorative role.
