BOW DOWN

We should give it up for bow ties for never losing their place in fashion..The bow tie originated among Croatian during the Prussian wars of the 17th century: the Croat mercenaries used a scarf around the neck to hold together the opening of their shirts.This was soon adopted to be the cravat .

we have the regency cravat....

the victorian cravat

and the classic cravat..

The cravat then evolved into the bow tie .
