Scholars trace the origins of the modern tie to 1636. In France, King Louis XIII hired Croatian mercenaries to fight the King’s cause in the Thirty Years War (Smithfield). The mercenaries closed their jackets with colorful pieces of cloth, tied at the neck. Fascinated with the comfortable, stylish look, the King soon favored the style over the popular ruffled collars and named it the cravate, a derivation of the French word for Croatian, croates. The fashion caught on and swiftly crossed the Channel to England, where cravate became cravat. Styles varied from fancy to plain, but were generally a long piece of cloth worn around the neck and tied in the front."
