The modern necktie, ascot, and bow tie are descended from the cravat.The necktie traces back to Croatian mercenaries serving in France during the Thirty Years' War (16181648). These mercenaries from the Military Frontier, wearing their traditional small, knotted neckerchiefs, aroused the interest of the Parisians. Because of the difference between the Croatian word for Croats, Hrvati, and the French word, Croates, the garment gained the name cravat (cravate in French).
