	Necktie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		From the end of the 16th century, the term "band" applied to any long strip of cloth worn round the neck that was not a "ruff".
		The word "cravat" comes from the French cravate, and many sources state that this is a corruption of "Croat" — Croatian "Hrvat".
		During the wars of Louis XIV of 1689–1697, the flowing cravat was replaced, except for court occasions, by the more current and equally military Steinkirk, named for the Battle of Flanders of 1692.

		The cravat as it came to be worn in France and England was at first a straight narrow strip of lace or linen, hanging down from the neck.
		Cravats, at this period, were sometimes as much as a foot high, with the points of the collars rising half-way up the face and obliging gentlemen to keep their chins and their heads well up in the air.
		It was George "Beau" Brummel who first elevated the cravat into a cult-that crony and sartorial arbiter of George IV who was known to have educed his king to tears by his criticism of the style of his costume.

	Academia Cravatica, A Cravat around Arena

		The height of the cravat from the narrowest to the widest part is 3.5 m.
		Precisely because of the great vulnerability of the installation to wind, the lower part of the cravat was put away that same evening with the help of the local people, but the knot and the part of the Cravat around the Arena was taken down the next day, on Sunday.

		What I liked most about "The Bloodied Cravat" was not so much the murder-flmail plot, but rather the care that Rosemary Stevens took to get certain nuances about the Regency period right.
		I liked that she painted the precariousness of Brummell's social position so accurately -- how a small misstep, however slight, and the loss of the good opinion of the powerful members of the aristocracy, could ruin him.
		THE BLOODIED CRAVAT is a fascinating page turning tale with so many suspects all with viable motives that readers will not be able to put the book down until they are satisfied they have all the answers to this complex puzzle.
