Cravat as worn in the 19th century. The cravat (/ k r ə ˈ v æ t /) is a neckband, the forerunner of the modern tailored necktie and bow tie, originating from a style worn by members of the 17th century military unit known as the Cravats. [1] The modern British "cravat" is called an "ascot" in American English.
By 1680–1690 the cravat was worn falling over a stiffened ornamental cravat-string. The years 1695–1700 saw the Steinkirk style, with the front ends twisted and the terminals either passed through a buttonhole or attached with a brooch to one side of the coat. The cravat was popular until the 1740s, and with the elderly thereafter.
