The story goes that the first ties were made by girls and women for their men who went from Croatia to the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), predicting luck and a safe return home for them. Seeing the cloths around the necks of the Croats, the French, under whose flag they fought, called them La Cravat (from Croat). Shortly after the Thirty Years' War, in 1667, a special regiment called the Royal Cravates was formed in France, named after the Croats who were part of it and wore ties.
