History [edit]. The cravat originated in the 1630s; like most men's fashions between the 17th century and World War I, it was of military origin. Steinkirk was a type of cravat designed to be worn in deliberate disarray. The fashion apparently began after troops at the Battle of Steenkerque in 1692 had no time to tie their cravats properly before going into action.
