Do you know how to tie a tie?

Do you know how to tie a tie?

Well, we do!

 

Teacher Ena has taught us how to tie a necktie, since 18 October is the International Cravat Day.

 

Here some fun facts about cravats:

... The usual legend says that it all started when Croatian soldier got a scarf from his fiancee before going to war as a sign she would remain faithful. His fellow soldiers saw it and liked it so much they started wearing the similar garment as well.

... Neck scarves were a part of Croatian battle dress to identify each other in battle since they had no standardised uniforms at the time. 

... Common soldiers wore bright scarves made of cheaper materials and officers wore scarves made of fine cotton or silk.
