History

		When the Shih Huang Ti's Cotta army was discovered in the underground tombe in China they all wore ties and this was in the year 221 before Christ. But the first Roman speakers also wore  neckties, this to keep their throughts and voice warm.
		But the first real necktie comes from the word Croat. In 1660 Louis XIV invited the army of Croatië in Paris. To honor them for their victory on the Turkish. The offisers of this army all wore nicely colored silk neckties, which Louis admired just as much as their bravery.
		In 1784 the trend of the necktie realy began after Beau Brummel wore a tie the first time, in the shape of a high necktie in a light wave. This way he expressed his individuality. The neckcloathing becomes very popular and the touch of someone's tie was a serious business. In that time a reason for a duell.
		When the necktowels became easier to knot and wear, people began to name them neckties. Nobody knows who it was, but one day a man knotted his tie in a way, that the modern long tie was born. In 1864 the romantic poët Oscar Wilde wrote "a well knotted tie is the first serious step in your life". He wore  knietrousers himself, a flanel jacket and a lously hanged green necktie.
		The first "club of old school" where the necktie appeared, was in 1880 by the members of the Exeter College Row Team of the Oxford University. This happened because they wore the bands of the peddles as a tie around their neck. From early 1900 there is a great tie rage. If we look closely around us. we can see this rage never passed.
