The leather stock also afforded some protection to the major blood vessels of the neck from saber or bayonet attacks. The term originally referred to a leather collar, laced at the back, worn by soldiers to promote holding the head high in a military bearing. In 1715, another kind of neckwear, called " stocks" made its appearance. 1710–1800: stocks, solitaires, neckcloths, cravats International Necktie Day is celebrated on October 18 in Croatia and in various cities around the world, including in Dublin, Tübingen, Como, Tokyo, Sydney and other towns. These cravats were often tied in place by cravat strings, arranged neatly and tied in a bow. From its introduction by the French king, men wore lace cravats, or jabots, which took a large amount of time and effort to arrange. This new article of clothing started a fashion craze in Europe both men and women wore pieces of fabric around their necks. Louis XIV began wearing a lace cravat around 1646 when he was seven and set the fashion for French nobility. 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). These mercenaries from the Military Frontier, wearing their traditional small, knotted neckerchiefs, aroused the interest of the Parisians. The necktie that spread from Europe traces back to Croatian mercenaries serving in France during the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648).
