CONGRATULATIONS - 18TH OCOTBER - THA CRAVAT DAY!
SUBJECT: Appeal for usage of the word cravat in English laguage
THE CRAVAT!
THE CRAVAT INSTEAD OF A TIE AND NECKTIE
The word tie has developed from the phrase To tie the cravat!
On the occasion of the International Day of The Cravat on the 18th of October we invite all the English speaking individuals to call the knotted scarf around their neck by it’s original name the cravat instead of tie and necktie.
The fashion of wearing knotted scarves in England as well as the word „cravate“ in the form of „the cravat“ introduced King Charles II in 1660, upon his return from exile. Later on from the expression „to tie the cravat“ a new name developed for the cravat in English – the „tie“ and „necktie“.
