The Unknown Stories Of Men Neckties
The Egyptians were the first culture to develop neckties, showing that this clothing item could be both mysterious and exotic. Wrapped around the neck and a long rectangular fabric is hanging on the shoulder. It's like an ascot, which is the forerunner of neckties in the story. In the ancient Egypt, this accessory has very important implication which represents the wearer’s social status. Only nobility could wear it, not the common citizen. Of ancient Egypt the modern tie is the derivative of a conceptual product which is a symbol of the feudal system in a sense. Inherited through the necktie evolution, it represents a clear class differentiation.
There are even more stories on the neckties in the Europe among which the British ones are the most interesting. According to the old legend, the ties were invented by British women. From the food they are headache to the stains on the clothing of their husband. Women would attach a piece of cloth to the collar to keep them clean. So he can wipe his mouth if needed. For the decoration a few stones are also nailed into the man’s cuff in addition. From these influences emerged today's neckties and cuff links; these items are now a must-have in any man's wardrobe. There are other legends of course. Ties have been used for many purposes over the years such as observation of winds by Irish fishermen, wives or lovers of Roman soldiers used them when praying or peace and British soldiers wore them to cover scars from war. It's hard to tell if they're authentic, but evidently the wearing of neckties can be traced back to wartime.
Historical information seems to indicate that neckties had their origin in France, although there are also other ideas as to their origin. In medieval times, warfare was a common occurrence in Europe. In 1688, King Louis XIV in France started the war to Austria. During one period, white scarves were worn by Austrian soldiers as a type of identification. The king liked that scarf which is known as Croatta. He fashioned a scarf which he wore in the palace. He began to make a new design for the scarf, such as adding the embroidery lace and tying a butterfly knot so after a while, he was bored by the plain style of Croatta. Neckties instantly rose in popularity, thanks to Louis. Once the trend to wear neckties spread to the army, many others soon began to wear them also. The king Louis then did more on the Croatta such that one army was named after Croatta. For the necktie development in the history the promotion by the king Louis is very important. One might argue that were it not for King Louis XIV, the modern necktie would not exist. The king had no idea how important his promotion for the modern fashion within next hundreds of years. The Croatta has been evolved into two categories in the current fashion industry: One is the bow tie from the upward development and the other is the necktie with the downward development.

Scarf Jack - $19.99 A 1978 novel by Irish author P.J. Kavanagh was the source for the swashbuckling British miniseries Scarf Jack. The story took place in 1795, when a rebel movement arose in Ireland to expunge the occupying British landowners. The title character was a mysterious figure who swooped down from nowhere to rescue various and sundry Irish citizens from the tyrannical excesses of the British. Things shifted into gear when an innocent traveler named Francis Place found himself unwittingly assisting Scarf Jack and his fellow rebels. Roy Boyd headed the talented cast of the six-episode Scarf Jack, which was seen in the British Isles in 1981, courtesy of Southern Television (aka TVS). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi |
